5 Quasi - Actions on Trees and Property ( Qfa )

چکیده
We prove some general results about quasi-actions on trees and define Property (QFA), which is analogous to Serre's Property (FA), but in the coarse setting. This property is shown to hold for a class of groups, including SL(n, Z) for n ≥ 3. We also give a way of thinking about Property (QFA) by breaking it down into statements about particular classes of trees. Contents 1. Introduction 1 1.1. Acknowledgements 2 2. Preliminaries 2 2.1.

متن کاملComparing quasi-finitely axiomatizable and prime groups
An infinite f.g. group G is quasi-finitely axiomatizable (QFA) if there is a first-order sentence j such that G ! j, and if H is a f.g. group such that H ! j, then GGH. The first result is that all Baumslag–Solitar groups of the form ha; d j d"1ad 1⁄4 ai are QFA. A f.g. group G is a prime model if and only if there is a tuple g1; . . . ; gn generating G whose orbit (under the automorphisms of G...
متن کاملQuasi finitely axiomatizable totally categorical theories
As was shown in [2], totally categorical structures (i.e. which are categorical in all powers) are not finitely axiomatizable. On the other hand, the most simple totally categorical structures: infinite sets, infinite projective or affine geometries over a finite field, are quasi finitely axiomatizable (i.e. axiomatized by a finite number of axioms and the schema of infinity, we will use the ab...
متن کاملQuasi-actions on trees I. Bounded valence
Given a bounded valence, bushy tree T , we prove that any cobounded quasi-action of a group G on T is quasiconjugate to an action of G on another bounded valence, bushy tree T ′. This theorem has many applications: quasi-isometric rigidity for fundamental groups of finite, bushy graphs of coarse PD(n) groups for each fixed n; a generalization to actions on Cantor sets of Sullivan’s theorem abou...
