چکیده

For this paper, we will define a (non-oriented) graph Γ to be a pair Γ = (V,E), where V = vert(Γ) is a set of vertices, and E = edge(Γ) ⊆ V × V/S2 is a set of unordered pairs, known as edges between them. Two vertices, v, v′ ∈ V are considered adjacent if (v, v′) ∈ E, if there is an edge between them. An oriented graph has edge set E = edge(Γ) ⊆ V × V , ordered pairs. For an edge v = (v1, v2) in an oriented graph, o(v) = v1 is the origin of v and t(v) = v2 is the terminus of v. Unless noted, all graphs in this paper are non-oriented. A group G acts on a set X if there is a map

Groups 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 ...

Partially Ordered Groups Which Act on Oriented Order Trees

It is well known that a countable group admits a left-invariant total order if and only if it acts faithfully on R by orientation preserving homeomorphisms. Such group actions are special cases of group actions on simply connected 1-manifolds, or equivalently, actions on oriented order trees. We characterize a class of left-invariant partial orders on groups which yield such actions, and show c...

Poincaré Series and Zeta Functions for Surface Group Actions on R-trees

and it is easy to see that this is constant on conjugacy classes. In this setting, it can be shown that η(s) and ζ(s) have extensions as meromorphic functions to the entire complex plane. The proof relies on non-commutative harmonic analysis and the functions are studied via the spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. In this note we shall consider an analogous situation where we ...

Non-nesting Actions of Polish Groups on Pretrees

We study non-nesting actions of groups on R-trees. We prove some fixed point theorems for such actions under the assumption that a group is Polish and has a comeagre conjugacy class. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20E08; secondary 03C50, 03E15.

Two-generator Subgroups of the Pure Braid Group

We show that any two elements of the pure braid group either commute or generate a free group, settling a question of Luis Paris. Our proof involves the theory of 3-manifolds and the theory of group actions on trees.

Deformation and rigidity of simplicial group actions on trees

We study a notion of deformation for simplicial trees with group actions (G{ trees). Here G is a xed, arbitrary group. Two G{trees are related by a deformation if there is a nite sequence of collapse and expansion moves joining them. We show that this relation on the set of G{trees has several characterizations, in terms of dynamics, coarse geometry, and length functions. Next we study the defo...
