Fixed points of finite groups acting on generalised Thompson groups
No full textWe study centralisers of finite order automorphisms of the generalised Thompson groups Fn, ? and conjugacy classes of finite sub- groups in finite extensions of Fn, ?. In particular we show that centralisers of finite automorphisms in Fn, ? are either of type FP? or not finitely generated. As an application we deduce the following result about the Bredon type of such finite extensions: any finite extension of Fn, ?, where the elements of finite order act on Fn, ? via conjugation with piecewise-linear homeomorphisms, is of type Bredon F?. In particular finite extensions of F = F2,? are of type Bredon F?
Elizabeth F. Thompson, Leila Farsakh, and Robert Laffey discuss, Hope Arab Spring Eternal at Ford Hall Forum, video recording, 5/16/2013
No full textHow much closer are Middle Eastern countries to having functioning constitutional governments than they were in the spring of 2011? How will such governments impact their economies? What unique challenges and opportunities has each country faced in building new government? How has the culture played into the emerging politics? Elizabeth F. Thompson (author, Justice Interrupted) and Leila Farsakh (Associate Professor of Political Science, UMass Boston) join us to provide an update on happenings in the Middle East, particularly in terms of consequences we did not foresee two years ago. Robert Laffey (Assistant Professor of Government, Suffolk University) guides this discussion on post-Arab Spring sociopolitical changes, mining Thompson\u27s book for historical context and Farsakh\u27s research for current insights. Elizabeth F. Thompson will be signing and selling copies of her book, Justice Interrupted, at the end of the event.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-av/1129/thumbnail.jp
On the Alexander theorem for the oriented Thompson group \overarrow F
No full textIn [10] and [12] Vaughan Jones introduced a construction which yields oriented knots and links from elements of the oriented Thompson group F. In this paper we prove, by analogy with Alexander’s classical theorem establishing that every knot or link can be represented as a closed braid, that given an oriented knot /link L, there exists an element g in F whose closure L(g) is L

The action of the Thompson group F on infinite trees
No full textWe construct an action of the Thompson group F on a compact space built from pairs of infinite, binary rooted trees. The action arises as an F-equivariant compactification of the action of F by translations on one of its homogeneous spaces, F/H_2, corresponding to a certain subgroup H_2 of F. The representation of F on the Hilbert space l^2(F/H_2) is faithful on the complex group algebra C[F]
TWISTED CONJUGACY CLASSES IN R. THOMPSON`S GROUP F
No full textIn this article, we prove that any automorphism of R. Thompson`s group F has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Brin, together with standard facts about R. Thompson`s group F, and elementary properties of the Reidemeister numbers
Shipboard measurements of sediment stability using a small annular flume—Core Mini Flume (CMF)
No full textEstimates of bed stability in coastal environments are essential to physical, biological, and chemical investigations of cohesive sediments. The Core Mini Flume (CMF), a 200 mm diameter annular flume has been designed to undertake sediment stability experiments on collected intact sediment box cores. Bed properties were assessed for replicate box cores at 3 contrasting sites in UK coastal waters (Tyne [in 2011 and 2012], Plymouth and Celtic Deep), each covering a maximum area of 80 m2. No significant horizontal spatial variations were found for grain size, bulk density, porosity, or oxygen penetration at the sites. Resuspension experiments performed on replicate cores yielded highly replicable results for each site, giving average erosion thresholds of 0.33 ± 0.02 (Tyne 2011), 0.215 ± 0.03 (Tyne 2012), 0.23 ± 0.01 (Plymouth), and 0.09 ± 0.006 (Celtic Deep) Pa and erosion depths of 10.7 ± 1.7, 6.63 ± 1.10, 3.65 ± 0.95, and 4.6 ± 0.5 mm. Using an already established methodology, the CMF allowed detailed replicate experiments to be performed on-board ship rapidly after sediment collection, while minimizing the time spent at each station. The use of intact box cores minimized the disturbance to the bed often associated with recovering material to a laboratory or remoulding a bed. We have demonstrated that the convenience of laboratory-based methodologies can be combined with the benefit of prompt investigations on undisturbed beds complete with overlying in situ water to produce robust measurements of sediment stability
