The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of the irrational-slope Thompson's group $F_\tau$ introduced by Cleary in 1995. We construct presentations, both finite and infinite and we describe its combinatorial structure using binary trees. We show that its commutator group is simple. Finally, inspired by the case of Thompson's group F, we define a unique normal form for the elements of the group and study the metric properties for the elements based on this normal form. As a corollary… Expand

Irrational-slope versions of Thompson's groups $T$ and $V$
• Mathematics
• 2020
In this paper we consider the $T$- and $V$- versions, $T_{\tau}$ and $V_{\tau}$ , of the irrational slope Thompson group $F_{\tau}$ considered in [3]. We give infinite presentations for these groupsExpand
Thompson-like groups, characters, and Reidemeister numbers
• Mathematics
• 2021
We investigate Reidemeister numbers of automorphisms of Thompson-like groups. More precisely, we use the Σ-invariant of Bieri–Neumann–Strebel to prove that the Lodha– Moore groups and the braidedExpand

We discuss metric and combinatorial properties of Thompson's group T, such as the normal forms for elements and uniqueness of tree pair diagrams. We relate these properties to those of Thompson'sExpand
METRIC PROPERTIES OF HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL THOMPSON'S GROUPS

Higher-dimensional Thompson's groups nV are finitely presented groups that generalize dyadic self-maps of the unit interval to dyadic self-maps of n-dimensional unit cubes. We describe some of theExpand
Growth of Positive Words in Thompson's Group F
Abstract Although it is well known that the growth of Thompson's group F is exponential, the exact growth function is still unknown. Elements of its submonoid of positive words can be described usingExpand

Richard J. Thompson invented his group F in the 60s; it is a group full of surprises: it has a finite presentation with 2 generators and 2 relators, and a derived group that is simple; it admits aExpand
Metrics and embeddings of generalizations of Thompson’s group $F$

The distance from the origin in the word metric for generalizations F (p) of Thompson’s group F is quasi-isometric to the number of carets in the reduced rooted tree diagrams representing theExpand
THOMPSON'S GROUP IS DISTORTED IN THE THOMPSON-STEIN GROUPS
We show that the inclusion map of the generalized Thompson groups F(n i ) is exponentially distorted in the Thompson―Stein groups F(n 1 , ... , n k ) for k > 1. One consequence is that F isExpand
