We construct a family of groups from suitable higher rank graphs which are analogues of the finite symmetric groups. We introduce homological invariants showing that many of our groups are, for example, not isomorphic to $nV$, when $n \geq…

In his papers [2], [3] Brin introduced the higher dimensional Thompson groups nV which are generalizations to the Thompson's group V of self-homeomorphisms of the Cantor set and found a finite set of generators and relations in the case n =…

In a previous paper, we defined a higher dimensional analog of Thompson's group V, and proved that it is simple, infinite, finitely generated, and not isomorphic to any of the known Thompson groups. There are other Thompson groups that are…

We show how to construct a family of groups with simple commutator subgroups from aperiodic 1-vertex, finitely aligned higher rank graphs (which are, in fact, a class of cancellative monoids). Inverse semigroups form the intermediary…

We construct a "higher dimensional" version 2V of Thompson's group V. Like V it is an infinite, finitely presented, simple subgroup of the homeomorphism group of the Cantor set, but we show that it is not isomorphic to V by showing that the…

We show that one can naturally describe elements of R. Thompson's finitely presented infinite simple group $V$, known by Thompson to have a presentation with four generators and fourteen relations, as products of permutations analogous to…

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…

The higher-dimensional Thompson groups $nV$, for $n \geq 2$, were introduced by Brin in 2005. We provide new presentations for each of these infinite simple groups. The first is an infinite presentation, analogous to the Coxeter…

Higher-dimensional Thompson's groups nV are finitely presented groups described by Brin which generalize dyadic self-maps of the unit interval to dyadic self-maps of n-dimensional unit cubes. We describe some of the metric properties of…

Matrix transposition induces an involution on the isomorphism classes of semi-simple n-dimensional representations of the three string braid group. We show that a connected component of this variety can detect braid-reversion or that the…

We construct a family of infinite simple groups that we call \emph{twisted Brin-Thompson groups}, generalizing Brin's higher-dimensional Thompson groups $sV$ ($s\in\mathbb{N}$). We use twisted Brin-Thompson groups to prove a variety of…

Presentations are computed for a braided version BV of Thompson's group V and for V itself showing that there is an Artin group/Coxeter group relation between them. The presentation for V is obtained from that for BV by declaring all that…

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…

We consider the involutions known as "toggles," which have been used to give simplified proofs of the fundamental properties of the promotion and evacuation maps. We transfer these involutions so that they generate a group $\mathscr P_n$…

We introduce a family of area preserving generalized baker's transformations acting on the unit square and having sharp polynomial rates of mixing for Holder data. The construction is geometric, relying on the graph of a single variable…

We describe subgroups and overgroups of the generalised Thompson groups $V_n$ which arise via conjugation by rational homeomorphisms of Cantor space. We specifically consider conjugating $V_n$ by homeomorphisms induced by synchronizing…

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…

In this paper, we continue our study of the class of diagram groups. Simply speaking, a diagram is a labelled plane graph bounded by a pair of paths (the top path and the bottom path). To multiply two diagrams, one simply identifies the top…

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 give a new explicit construction for the simplicial group $K(A,n)$. We explain the topological interpretation and discuss some possible applications.
