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…

In this short article, we prove that any automorphism of the R. Thompson's group $F$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Matthew Brin, together with a standard facts on R. Thompson's group $F$,…

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…

This paper demonstrates the uniformly finite homology developed by Block and Weinberger and its relationship to amenable spaces via applications to the Cayley graph of Thompson's Group F. In particular, a certain class of subgraph of F is…

In this paper we prove that the Thompson groups $T$ and $V$ are not inner amenable. In particular, their group von Neumann algebras do not have property $\Gamma$. Moreover, we prove that if the reduced group $C^\ast$-algebra of $T$ is…

We show that the Basilica Thompson group introduced by Belk and Forrest is not finitely presented, and in fact is not of type FP_2. The proof involves developing techniques for proving non-simple connectedness of certain subcomplexes of…

We show that R. Thompson's group $T$ is a maximal subgroup of the group $V$. The argument provides examples of foundational calculations which arise when expressing elements of $V$ as products of transpositions of basic clopen sets in…

This paper looks at the class of groups admitting normal forms for which the right multiplication by a group element is computed in linear time on a multi-tape Turing machine. We show that the groups $\mathbb{Z}_2 \wr \mathbb{Z}^2$,…

Thompson's group F is the group of all increasing dyadic piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the closed unit interval. We compute Sigma^m(F) and Sigma^m(F;Z), the homotopical and homological Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of F, and we…

We prove that there exists a group which is not finitely generated, but admits a minimal sofic shift. This answers a question of Doucha, Melleray and Tsankov. The group is of the form $(F_4 \times F_2) \rtimes F_{\infty}$. The construction…

We find new presentations for the Thompson's groups $F$, the derived group $F^{'}$ and the intermediate group $D$. These presentations have a common ground in that their relators are the same and only the generating sets differ. As an…

Let $F$ denote the Thompson group with standard generators $A=x_0$, $B=x_1$. It is a long standing open problem whether $F$ is an amenable group. By a result of Kesten from 1959, amenability of $F$ is equivalent to $$(i)\qquad ||I+A+B||=3$$…

The goal is to extend a non-standard amenability test for groups, based on random walks and superharmonic functions, to group actions on sets, and to apply it to Thompson's group F using certain properties of extensive amenability. While no…

A machine developed by the second author produces a rich family of unitary representations of the Thompson groups F,T and V. We use it to give direct proofs of two previously known results. First, we exhibit a unitary representation of V…
