Congruence Subgroups of the Automorphism Group of a Free Group
Let n ≥ 2 and Fn be the free group of rank n. Its automorphism group Aut(Fn) has a well-known surjective linear representation ρ : Aut(Fn) −→ Aut(Fn/F ′ n) = GLn(Z) where F ′ n denotes the commutator subgroup of Fn. By Aut (Fn) := ρ(SLn(Z)) we denote the special automorphism group of Fn. For an epimorphism π : Fn → G of Fn onto a finite group G we call Γ(G, π) := {φ ∈ Aut(Fn) | πφ = π} the stan...
متن کاملA Finitely Presented Torsion-free Simple Group
We construct a finitely presented torsion-free simple group Σ0, acting cocompactly on a product of two regular trees. An infinite family of such groups has been introduced by Burger-Mozes ([2, 4]). We refine their methods and get Σ0 as an index 4 subgroup of a group Σ < Aut(T12)×Aut(T8) presented by 10 generators and 24 short relations. For comparison, the smallest virtually simple group of [4,...
متن کاملFinitely Presented MV-algebras with Finite Automorphism Group
Please see [1] for background on MV-algebras. We address the question, which MV-algebras have finite automorphism group. The automorphism group of the free MV-algebra on 1 generator is just the group of order 2 (folklore). In contrast, it is known that the automorphism group of the free MV-algebra on 2 generators is not even locally finite [4, 2]. Not much else seems to be known. Let us restric...
متن کاملRandom Generation of Finitely Generated Subgroups of a Free Group
We give an efficient algorithm to randomly generate finitely generated subgroups of a given size, in a finite rank free group. Here, the size of a subgroup is the number of vertices of its representation by a reduced graph such as can be obtained by the method of Stallings foldings. Our algorithm randomly generates a subgroup of a given size n, according to the uniform distribution over size n ...
متن کاملThe Modular Group A Finitely Generated Group with Interesting Subgroups
The action of Möbius transformations with real coefficients preserves the hyperbolic metric in the upper half-plane model of the hyperbolic plane. The modular group is an interesting group of hyperbolic isometries generated by two Möbius transformations, namely, an order-two element, g2 HzL = -1 ê z, and an element of infinite order, g• HzL = z + 1. Viewing the action of the group elements on a...
