The Thompson group F has a natural unitary representation on $H=L^2[0,1]$. With some projections, we construct a family of projective unitary representations on a Fermionic Fock space associated with $H$. It comes from the representation of…

In previous work, joint with Bux, Fluch, Marschler and Witzel, we proved that the braided Thompson groups are of type $\textrm{F}_\infty$. The proof utilized certain contractible cube complexes, which in this paper we prove are CAT(0). We…

We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…

Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…

This paper examines Shavgulidze's postings to the ArXiv and publications which concern his argument that Thompson's group F is amenable. In particular I list specific places where there are errors in each of the postings and publications…

We prove that a limit group over Thompson's group $F$ cannot be an HNN-extension of $F$ with respect to a finitely generated subgroup. On the other hand we give an example of an $F$-limit group which is a centralized HNN-extenstions of $F$.…

Recall that a group $G$ is said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every non-trivial element $g\in G$ has a co-generator in $G$ (i.e., an element which together with $g$ generates $G$). Thompson's group $V$ was proved to be…

We introduce the notions of definable amenability and extreme definable amenability for groups in continuous structures and conduct an extensive analysis of them, drawing parallels with the classical first-order case. We characterize both…

We study some spectral properties of random walks on infinite countable amenable groups with an emphasis on locally finite groups, e.g. the infinite symmetric group. On locally finite groups, the random walks under consideration are driven…

The authors classify the finite index subgroups of R. Thompson's group $F$. All such groups that are not isomorphic to $F$ are non-split extensions of finite cyclic groups by $F$. The classification describes precisely which finite index…

We discuss metric and combinatorial properties of Thompson's group T, including normal forms for elements and unique tree pair diagram representatives. We relate these properties to those of Thompson's group F when possible, and highlight…

Imagine we want to split a group of agents into teams in the most \emph{efficient} way, considering that each agent has their own preferences about their teammates. This scenario is modeled by the extensively studied \textsc{Coalition…

We prove that under two natural probabilistic models (studied by Cleary, Elder, Rechnitzer and Taback), the probability that a random pair of elements of Thompson's group $F$ generate the entire group is positive. We also prove that for any…

We study some combinatorial properties of the word metric of Thompson's group F in the standard two generator finite presentation. We explore connections between the tree pair diagram representing an element w of F, its normal form in the…

We consider a general class of Markovian models describing the growth in a randomly fluctuating environment of a clonal biological population having several phenotypes related by stochastic switching. Phenotypes differ e.g. by the level of…

We study asymptotic properties of the Green metric associated with transient random walks on countable groups. We prove that the rate of escape of the random walk computed in the Green metric equals its asymptotic entropy. The proof relies…

This note describes the first example of a group that is amenable, but cannot be obtained by subgroups, quotients, extensions and direct limits from the class of groups locally of subexponential growth. It has a balanced presentation…

We give a general asymptotic formula for the growth rate of the number of indecomposable summands in the tensor powers of representations of finite groups, over a field of arbitrary characteristic. In characteristic zero we obtain…

We introduce a new method of proving upper estimates of growth of finitely generated groups and constructing groups of intermediate growth using graphs of their actions. These estimates are of the form $\exp(n^\alpha)$ for some $\alpha<1$,…

This manuscript represents the author's PhD dissertation thesis.The first part studies decision problems in Thompson's groups F,T,V and some generalizations. The simultaneous conjugacy problem is determined to be solvable for Thompson's…
