Comparing Length Functions on Free Groups
The aim of this note is to study a pair of length functions on a free group, associated to a point in the unprojectivized Outer space. We discuss various characteristics which compare them and describe how these may be unified by a “Manhattan curve” analogous to those used to study pairs of hyperbolic surfaces. Our approach involves the thermodynamic formalism used in the ergodic theory of hype...
متن کاملGroups with free regular length functions in Zn
This is the first paper in a series of three where we take on the unified theory of non-Archimedean group actions, length functions and infinite words. Our main goal is to show that group actions on Zn-trees give one a powerful tool to study groups. All finitely generated groups acting freely on R-trees also act freely on some Zn-trees, but the latter ones form a much larger class. The natural ...
متن کاملSolving random equations in Garside groups using length functions
We give a systematic exposition of memory-length algorithms for solving equations in noncommutative groups. This exposition clarifies some points untouched in earlier expositions. We then focus on the main ingredient in these attacks: Length functions. After a self-contained introduction to Garside groups, we describe length functions induced by the greedy normal form and by the rational normal...
متن کاملFeebly compact paratopological groups and real-valued functions
We present several examples of feebly compact Hausdorff paratopological groups (i.e., groups with continuous multiplication) which provide answers to a number of questions posed in the literature. It turns out that a 2-pseudocompact, feebly compact Hausdorff paratopological group G can fail to be a topological group. Our group G has the Baire property, is Fréchet–Urysohn, but it is not precompa...
متن کاملStable Length in Stable Groups
We show that the stable commutator length vanishes for certain groups defined as infinite unions of smaller groups. The argument uses a group-theoretic analogue of the Mazur swindle, and goes back to the works of Anderson, Fisher, and Mather on homeomorphism groups.
