In a seminal paper, Brin demonstrates that the outerautomorphism group of Thompson group $T$ is isomorphic to the cyclic group of order two. In this article, building on characterisation of automorphisms of the Higman-Thompson groups…

We consider random subgroups of Thompson's group $F$ with respect to two natural stratifications of the set of all $k$ generator subgroups. We find that the isomorphism classes of subgroups which occur with positive density are not the same…

We show how all topological full groups coming from a one-sided irreducible shift of finite type, as studied by Matui, can be re-interpreted as groups of colour-preserving tree almost automorphisms. As an application, we show that they…

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we establish that Thompson's groups are regarded as subgroups of…

We consider groups $\mathbb{I}$ of isometries of ultrametric Urysohn spaces $\mathbb{U}$. Such spaces $\mathbb{U}$ admit transparent realizations as boundaries of certain $R$-trees and the groups $\mathbb{I}$ are groups of automorphisms of…

We associate with every locally expanding self-covering $f:M\to M$ of a compact path connected metric space a finitely presented group $V_f$. We prove that this group is a complete invariant of the dynamical system: two groups $V_{f_1}$ and…

We investigate a group $B\_\bullet$ that includes Artin's braid group $B\_\infty$ and Thompson's group $F$. The elements of $B\_\bullet$ are represented by braids diagrams in which the distances between the strands are not uniform and,…

The Thompson group V is a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of the Cantor set. Brin defined higher dimensional Thompson groups nV as generalizations of V. We prove that nV has Serre's property FA, for every n. This is a generalization of…

In this note, we compute the {\Sigma}^1(G) invariant when 1 {\to} H {\to} G {\to} K {\to} 1 is a short exact sequence of finitely generated groups with K finite. As an application, we construct a group F semidirect Z_2 where F is the R.…

We extend several techniques and theorems from geometric group theory so that they apply to geometric actions on arbitrary proper metric ARs (absolute retracts). A second way that we generalize earlier results is by eliminating freeness…

We prove that the tree almost automorphism groups admit exactly three commensurability classes of closed commensurated subgroups. Our proof utilizes an independently interesting characterization of subgroups of the tree almost automorphism…

Given a set S equipped with a binary operation (we call this a "bracket algebra") one may ask to what extent the binary operation satisfies some of the consequences of the associative law even when it is not actually associative? We define…

This article gives an elementary computational proof of the group law for Edwards elliptic curves. The associative law is expressed as a polynomial identity over the integers that is directly checked by polynomial division. Unlike other…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic. One can associate to G (or subgroups thereof) its Lie algebra, its Frobenius kernels, and the finite Chevalley group of points over a finite field. The…

We define series of representations of the Thompson's groups $F$ and $T$, which are analogs of principal series representations of $SL(2,\R)$. We show that they are irreducible and classify them up to unitary equivalence. We also prove that…

We extend a construction of Jones to associate $(n, n)$-tangles with elements of Thompson's group $F$ and prove that it is asymptotically faithful as $n \to\infty$. Using this construction we show that the oriented Thompson group $\vec F$…

We introduce the notion of \emph{topo-symmetric extensions} of topological groups, a new generalization of classical group extensions that incorporates both topological and symmetry constraints. We define morphisms between such extensions,…
