Groups acting on graphs: Their automorphisms and their length functions
No full textActions on frees are powerful tools for understanding the structure of a group and its automorphisms. In this thesis, we generalise several existing results in this field to larger classes of groups.This is a three paper thesis; the main body of the work is contained in the following papers:[1] Matthew Collins. Fixed points of irreducible, displacement one automorphisms of free products. Preprint, May2023, available at arXiv:2305.01451.[2] Matthew Collins. Growth and displacement of free product automorphisms. Preprint, July 2023, available at arXiv:2307.13502.[3] Matthew Collins and Armando Martino. Length functions on groups and actions on graphs. Preprint, July 2023, available atarXiv:2307.10760.In [1], we prove that an irreducible, growth rate1 automorphism of a free product fixes a single point in outer space. This can be thought of as a generalisation of Dicks & Ventura’s classification of the irreducible, growth rate 1 automorphisms of free groups. It is well known for an irreducible free group automorphism that its growth rate is equal to the minimal Lipschitz displacement of its action on Culler-Vogtmann space. This follows as a consequence of the existence of train track representatives for the automorphism. In [2], we extend this result to the general - possibly reducible - case as well as to the free product situation where growth is replaced by ‘relative growth’. In [3], we study generalisations of Chiswell’s Theorem that 0-hyperbolic Lyndon length functions on groups always arise as based length functions of the group acting isometrically on a tree. We produce counter-examples to show that this Theorem fails if one replaces 0-hyperbolicitywith δ-hyperbolicity. We then propose a set of axioms for the length function on a finitely generated group that ensures the function is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a (or any) length function of the group acting on its Cayley graph.</p

Crime and subversion in the later fiction of Wilkie Collins
No full textAlthough some good work on Collins is now beginning to emerge, complex and central elements in his fiction require fuller exploration. More consideration is due to the development of Collins's thinking and fictional techniques in the lesser-known novels, since out of a total of thirty-four published works most have received scant attention from scholars. This is particularly true of the later fiction. It is to work of the later period (1870-1889) that I devote the fullest consideration, whilst giving due
attention to the novels of the 1860s which are usually regarded as Collins's major novels.
Collins perceived that established discourses on criminality, deviance, femininity and morality functioned as mechanisms with which the dominant masculine and middle-class hegemony attempted to confirm and maintain its power. His later fiction reveals the anxieties of masculine and middle-class narrator-figures. In his novels written in the 1860s Collins explored narrative and subnarrative. He developed the technique of using the accounts of various characters to challenge the perspective of the narrator-figure and created the persona of an omniscient narrator whose response to his creations reveals his own anxieties.
The novels of Collins's later period develop such techniques to explore masculine apprehension at the changes occurring in late-Victorian society in which women and the working-classes were gaining greater freedom and middle-class dominance was threatened. Although narrators overtly argue the validity of standard discourses, their views are subverted by a level of sub-textual meaning at which the inadequacy of the narrators and their ideologies is revealed. Sub-textual meaning in the novels reveals
tensions and anomalies within ideas of criminality, the Victorian ideal of womanhood, medical discourses and the idea of the gentleman and his counterpart, the knight errant figure. Collins's later fiction presents itself as an impressive attempt to explore the ideological and social tensions of rapidly changing late-Victorian England
Letter from W. [Wayne] M. Collins to Hajime Kishi, January 8, 1952
No full textThis letter from Wayne M. Collins, a lawyer, explains that Katsumi Kishi and Masao Kishi are native born Peruvian citizens and therefore cannot be deported to Japan. Mr. Wayne Collins goes on to explain that there should be no cause for alarm at any potential deportation.Collection of notes, articles, correspondence, photographs, and term papers collected by Yukio Mochizuki, a student at CSU Dominguez Hills, while researching Japanese American incarceration and Japanese Peruvian internment during World War II
