We study an analogue of the conjugacy growth function in finitely generated groups: the automorphic growth function. This counts the number of automorphic orbits that intersect the ball of radius $n$ in the group. We show that this is not a…

We prove that random walks on Thompson's group $F$ driven by strictly non-degenerate finitely supported probability measures $\mu$ have a non-trivial Poisson boundary. The proof consists in an explicit construction of two different…

In this paper, we show that there is a net for amenable transformation groups like F{\o}lner net for amenable groups and investigate amenability of a transformation group constructed by semidirect product of groups. We introduce inner…

The entropy of the random walk on the discrete contable group could be used for comparison of the system of the generators. Fundamental inequality between growth, entropy and escape gives the possibility to define "the best" system of the…

We study subgroups of Thompson's group $F$ by means of an automaton associated with them. We prove that every maximal subgroup of $F$ of infinite index is closed, that is, it coincides with the subgroup of $F$ accepted by the automaton…

Computational models of collective behavior in birds has allowed us to infer interaction rules directly from experimental data. Using a generic form of these rules we explore the collective behavior and emergent dynamics of a simulated…

Let $F(p)$, $p\ge2$ be the family of generalized Thompson's groups. Here F(2) is the famous Richard Thompson's group usually denoted by $F$. We find the growth rate of the monoid of positive words in $F(p)$ and show that it does not exceed…

The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of the irrational-slope Thompson's group $F_\tau$ introduced by Cleary in 1995. We construct presentations, both finite and infinite and we describe its combinatorial structure using…

We present two quite different algorithms to compute the number of elements in the sphere of radius $n$ of Thompson's group $F$ with standard generating set. The first of these requires exponential time and polynomial space, but…

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…

The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…

A remarkable result of Thompson states that a finite group is soluble if and only if its two-generated subgroups are soluble. This result has been generalized in numerous ways, and it is in the core of a wide area of research in the theory…

We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group V.

The scaling entropy of a p.m.p. action is a slow-entropy type invariant that characterizes the intermediate growth of entropy in a dynamical system. An amenable group $G$ has a scaling entropy growth gap if the scaling entropy of any its…
