Conjugacy and centralizers in groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms

چکیده
In 2013, Monod introduced a family of Thompson-like groups which provides natural counterexamples to the von Neumann–Day conjecture. We construct characterization conjugacy and an invariant use them compute centralizers in one group this family.

Groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms
I 1924, Banach and Tarski (1) accomplished a rather paradoxical feat. They proved that a solid ball can be decomposed into five pieces, which are then moved around and reassembled in such a way as to obtain two balls identical to the original one (1). This wellnigh miraculous duplication was based on Hausdorff’s (2) 1914 work. In his 1929 study of the Hausdorff–Banach–Tarski paradox, von Neuman...
متن کاملGroups of Piecewise Linear Homeomorphisms
In this paper we study a class of groups which may be described as groups of piecewise linear bijections of a circle or of compact intervals of the real line. We use the action of these groups on simplicial complexes to obtain homological and combinatorial information about them. We also identify large simple subgroups in all of them, providing examples of finitely presented infinite simple gro...
متن کاملA Nonamenable Finitely Presented Group of Piecewise Projective Homeomorphisms
In this article we will describe a finitely presented subgroup of the group of piecewise projective homeomorphisms of the real projective line. This in particular provides a new example of a finitely presented group which is nonamenable and yet does not contain a nonabelian free subgroup. It is in fact the first such example which is torsion free. We will also develop a means for representing t...
متن کاملMather Invariants in Groups of Piecewise-linear Homeomorphisms
We describe the relation between two characterizations of conjugacy in groups of piecewise-linear homeomorphisms, discovered by Brin and Squier in [2] and Kassabov and Matucci in [5]. Thanks to the interplay between the techniques, we produce a simplified point of view of conjugacy that allows ua to easily recover centralizers and lends itself to generalization.
متن کاملConjugacy Classes of Centralizers in G 2
Let G be an algebraic group of type G2 over a field k of characteristic 6= 2, 3. In this paper we calculate centralizers of semisimple elements in anisotropic G2. Using these, we show explicitly that there are six conjugacy classes of centralizers in the compact real form of G2. AMS Subject Classification: 20G20, 17A75.
