چکیده
We prove the Girth Alternative for finitely generated subgroups of PLo(I). We also prove that a finitely generated subgroup of Homeo+(I) which is sufficiently rich with hyperbolic-like elements has infinite girth.

A Geometric Classification of Some Solvable Groups of Homeomorphisms
We investigate subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear, orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval with finitely many breaks in slope, under the operation of composition, and also subgroups of generalized Thompson groups Fn. We find geometric criteria determining the derived length of any such group, and use this criteria to produce a geometric classification of the so...

متن کاملElementary Amenable Subgroups of R. Thompson's Group F
This paper contributes to the study of the subgroups of Thompson’s group F by constructing a sequence of subgroups of increasing complexity. The group F is an interesting finitely presented group with a pleasant, faithful representation in the group PLo(I) of orientation preserving, piecewise linear, self homeomorphisms of the unit interval. Thus our subgroups also lie in PLo(I). The subgroups ...
متن کاملSolvability in Groups of Piecewise-linear Homeomorphisms of the Unit Interval by Collin Bleak
We investigate subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear, orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval with finitely many breaks in slope, and also subgroups of Thompson’s group F . We find geometric criteria determining the derived length of any such group, and use this criteria to classify the solvable and non-solvable subgroups of PLo(I) and of F . Let H be a subgroup o...
متن کاملA Strong Tits Alternative
We show that for every integer d ∈ N, there is N(d) ∈ N such that if K is any field and F is a finite subset of GLd(K), which generates a non amenable subgroup, then F contains two elements, which freely generate a non abelian free subgroup. This improves the original statement of the Tits alternative. It also implies a growth gap and a co-growth gap for non-amenable linear groups, and has cons...
