We show that the following groups are invariably generated; the group of piecewise projective homeomorphisms of the real line, the group of piecewise $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ homeomorphisms of the real line, Monod's group…

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

The group of piecewise projective homeomorphisms of the line provides straightforward counter-examples to the so-called von Neumann conjecture. The examples are so simple that many additional properties can be established.

We show that Thompson's group F occurs with great frequency in the group of PL homeomorphisms of the unit interval.

For a certain class of groups of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the interval, we prove that they admit no sufficiently regular faithful action on the line. Building on previous work of Brum, Matte Bon, Rivas, and the author…

A subset $S$ of a group $G$ invariably generates $G$ if $G$ is generated by $\{ s^g(s) | s\in S\} $ for any choice of $g(s)\in G, s\in S$. In case $G$ is topological one defines similarly the notion of topological invariable generation. A…

It was conjectured in [KLS14] that for arithmetic groups, Invariable Generation is equivalent to the Congruence Subgroup Property. In view of the famous Serre conjecture this would imply that higher rank arithmetic groups are invariably…

We describe isomorphisms of groups of several periodic infinite matrices and isomorphisms of groups of invertible elements of unital locally matrix algebras.

For random piecewise linear systems T of the interval that are expanding on average we construct explicitly the density functions of absolutely continuous T-invariant measures. In case the random system uses only expanding maps our…

We consider groups of piecewise-projective homeomorphisms of the line which are known to be non-amenable using notably the Carriere--Ghys theorem on ergodic equivalence relations. Replacing that theorem by an explicit fixed-point argument,…

We study the group of almost-periodic homeomorphisms of the real line. Our main result states that an action of a finitely generated group on the real line without global fixed point is conjugated to an almost-periodic action without almost…

We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.

We show that the topological groups $Diff_{+}^{1}(I)$ and $Diff_{+}^{1}(\mathbb{S}^1)$ of orientation-preserving $C^1$-diffeomorphisms of the interval and the circle, respectively, admit finitely generated dense subgroups. We also…

We establish conditions for the existence of a family of piecewise linear invariant curves in a two-parameter family of piecewise isometries on the upper half-plane known as Translated Cone Exchange Transformations. We show that these…

I survey the known results about the invariant Sigma 1 of groups of PL-homeomorphisms of a compact interval and supplement them with new results about Sigma 1 of PL-homeomorphism groups of a half line or a line. The proofs are based on the…

Let $G$ be a group. Then $S\subseteq G$ is an invariable generating set of $G$ if every subset $S'$ obtained from $S$ by replacing each element with a conjugate is also a generating set of $G$. We investigate invariable generation among key…

A subset S of a finite group G invariably generates G if G = <hsg(s) j s 2 Si > for each choice of g(s) 2 G; s 2 S. We give a tight upper bound on the minimal size of an invariable generating set for an arbitrary finite group G. In response…

Invariable generation is a topic that has predominantly been studied for finite groups. In 2014, Kantor, Lubotzky, and Shalev produced extensive tools for investigating invariable generation for infinite groups. Since their paper, various…

An element of a group is \emph{reversible} if it is conjugate to its own inverse, and it is \emph{strongly reversible} if it is conjugate to its inverse by an involution. A group element is strongly reversible if and only if it can be…

We introduce and study the notion of a chain group of homeomorphisms of a one-manifold, which is a certain generalization of Thompson's group $F$. The resulting class of groups exhibits a combination of uniformity and diversity. On the one…
