چکیده

We describe the automorphism groups and the abstract commensurators of Houghton’s groups. Then we give sharp estimates for the word metric of these groups and deduce that the commensurators embed into the corresponding quasi-isometry groups. As a further consequence, we obtain that the Houghton group on two rays is at least quadratically distorted in those with three or more rays.

Conjugacy in Houghton’s Groups

Let n ∈ N. Houghton’s group Hn is the group of permutations of {1, . . . , n} × N, that eventually act as a translation in each copy of N. We prove the solvability of the conjugacy problem and conjugator search problem for Hn, n ≥ 2. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 20F10, 20B99.

Some topological properties of fuzzy strong b-metric spaces

‎In this study‎, ‎we investigate topological properties of fuzzy strong‎ b-metric spaces defined in [13]‎. ‎Firstly‎, ‎we prove Baire's theorem for‎ ‎these spaces‎. ‎Then we define the product of two fuzzy strong b-metric spaces‎ ‎defined with same continuous t-norms and show that $X_{1}times X_{2}$ is a‎ ‎complete fuzzy strong b-metric space if and only if $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ are‎ ‎complete fu...

Algebraic distance in algebraic cone metric spaces and its properties

In this paper, we prove some properties of algebraic cone metric spaces and introduce the notion of algebraic distance in an algebraic cone metric space. As an application, we obtain some famous fixed point results in the framework of this algebraic distance.

INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY QUASI-METRIC AND PSEUDO-METRIC SPACES

In this paper, we propose a new definition of intuitionistic fuzzyquasi-metric and pseudo-metric spaces based on intuitionistic fuzzy points. Weprove some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy quasi- metric and pseudo-metricspaces, and show that every intuitionistic fuzzy pseudo-metric space is intuitionisticfuzzy regular and intuitionistic fuzzy completely normal and henceintuitionistic fuzzy nor...

Commensurations and Subgroups of Finite Index of Thompson’s Group F

Thompson’s groups have been extensively studied since their introduction by Thompson in the 1960s, despite the fact that Thompson’s account [7] appeared only in 1980. They have provided examples of infinite finitely presented simple groups, as well as some other interesting counterexamples in group theory (see for example, Brown and Geoghegan [3]). Cannon, Floyd and Parry [4] give an excellent ...
