Let $R=K[G]$ be a group ring of a group $G$ over a field $K$. The Ore condition says that for any $a,b\in R$ there exist $u,v\in R$ such that $au=bv$, where $u\ne0$ or $v\ne0$. It always holds whenever $G$ is amenable. Recently it was shown…
Let $M$ be a cancellative monoid. It is known~\cite{Ta54} that if $M$ is left amenable then the monoid ring $K[M]$ satisfies Ore condition, that is, there exist nontrivial common right multiples for the elements of this ring.…
The purpose of this article is prove that Thompson's group F is amenable. The methods developed will then be used to prove a generalization of Hindman's theorem for the free nonassociative binary system on one generator.
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 $$(i)\qquad ||I+A+B||=3$$…
A (discrete) group is called amenable whenever there exists a finitely additive right invariant probablity measure on it. For Thompson's group $F$ the problem whether it is amenable is a long-standing open question. We consider presentation…
This is a survey of our recent results on the amenability problem for Thompson's group $F$. They mostly concern esimating the density of finite subgraphs in Cayley graphs of $F$ for various systems of generators, and also equations in the…
It is a long standing open problem whether the Thompson group $F$ is an amenable group. In this paper we show that if $A$, $B$, $C$ denote the standard generators of Thompson group $T$ and $D:=C B A^{-1}$ then…
Richard Thompson's group F is the group of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval with a finite number of break points, all at dyadic rational numbers (their denominators are powers of 2) and with slopes which are powers of 2.…
We prove a converse to Myhill's "Garden-of-Eden" theorem and obtain in this manner a characterization of amenability in terms of cellular automata: "A group $G$ is amenable if and only if every cellular automaton with carrier $G$ that has…
In a recent paper Uffe Haagerup and Kristian Knudsen Olesen show that for Richard Thompson's group $T$, if there exists a finite set $H$ which can be decomposed as disjoint union of sets $H_1$ and $H_2$ with $\sum_{g\in…
In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generator subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group $G$ is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition:…
Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…
We demonstrate the existence of a family of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group $F$ which is strictly well-ordered by the embeddability relation in type $\epsilon_0 +1$. All except the maximum element of this family…
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…
We extend F{\o}lner's amenability criterion to the realm of general topological groups. Building on this, we show that a topological group $G$ is amenable if and only if its left translation action can be approximated in a uniform manner by…
In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group G is solvable if and only if every 2-generator subgroup of G is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group G is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition: G is…
We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…
The purpose of this article is to formulate conjectural generalizations of Hindman's Theorem and Ellis's Lemma for nonassociative binary systems and relate them to the amenability problem for Thompson's group $F$. Partial results are…
We prove a version of ergodic theorem for an action of an amenable group, where a F{\o} lner sequence needs not to be tempered. Instead, it is assumed that a function satisfies certain mixing condition.
We solve the twisted conjugacy problem on Thompson's group F. We also exhibit orbit undecidable subgroups of Aut(F), and give a proof that Aut(F) and Aut_+(F) are orbit decidable provided a certain conjecture on Thompson's group T is true.…
