Free groups of rotations acting without fixed points on the rational unit sphere
The purpose of this paper is to generalize an example of Sato of a free group of rotations of the Euclidean 3-space whose action on the rational unit sphere is fixed point free. Such groups are of interest, as they can be employed to construct paradoxical decompositions of spheres without assuming the Axiom of Choice.
متن کاملA free group acting without fixed points on the rational unit sphere
We prove the existence of a free group of rotations of rank 2 which acts on the rational unit sphere without non-trivial fixed points. Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the group SO3(Q) of all proper orthogonal 3 × 3 matrices with rational entries has a free subgroup F2 of rank 2 such that for all w ∈ F2 different from the identity and for all ~r ∈ S2 ∩Q3 we have w(~r ) 6...
متن کاملFixed Points of Finite Groups Acting on Generalised Thompson Groups
We study centralisers of finite order automorphisms of the generalised Thompson groups Fn,∞ and conjugacy classes of finite subgroups in finite extensions of Fn,∞. In particular we show that centralisers of finite automorphisms in Fn,∞ are either of type FP∞ or not finitely generated. As an application we deduce the following result about the Bredon type of such finite extensions: any finite ex...

متن کاملFree actions of nite groups on rational homology 3 - spheres
The purpose of this note is to prove the following: Theorem 1.1 Let G be a nite group. Then there is a rational homology S 3 on which G acts freely. That any nite group acts freely on some closed 3-manifold is easy to arrange: There are many examples of closed 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups surject a free group of rank two (for example, by taking a connected sum of S 1 S 2 's) and by pass...
