0.1. Results. We study the automorphisms of some generalizations of Thompson’s groups and their underlying structures. The automorphism groups of two of Thompson’s original groups were analyzed in [2] and were shown to be “small” and “unexotic.” Our results differ sharply from [2] in that we show that the automorphism groups of the generalizations are “large” and have “exotic” elements. The term exotic is from [1] and is explained later in this introduction. Richard J. Thompson introduced the… Expand

The conjugacy problem in extensions of Thompson’s group F
• Mathematics
• 2013
We solve the twisted conjugacy problem on Thompson’s group F. We also exhibit orbit undecidable subgroups of Aut(F), and give a proof that Aut(F) and Aut+(F) are orbit decidable provided a certainExpand
TWISTED CONJUGACY IN GENERALIZED THOMPSON GROUPS OF TYPE F
• Mathematics
• 2013
Let : ! be an endomorphism of a group . We say that x;y2 are in the same -twisted conjugacy class and write x y if there exists an element 2 such that y = x ( 1 ). This is an equivalence relation onExpand
The automorphism group of Thompson's group F: subgroups and metric properties.
• Mathematics

We describe some of the geometric properties of the automorphism group Aut(F) of Thompson's group F. We give realizations of Aut(F) geometrically via periodic tree pair diagrams, which lead toExpand
SIGMA THEORY AND TWISTED CONJUGACY CLASSES

Using Sigma theory we show that for large classes of groups G there is a subgroup H of finite index in Aut.G/ such that for ’ 2 H the Reidemeister number R.’/ is infinite. This includes all finitelyExpand
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
A relationship between twisted conjugacy classes and the geometric invariants Ωn
• Mathematics

A group G is said to have the property R∞ if every automorphism $${\varphi \in {\rm Aut}(G)}$$ has an infinite number of φ-twisted conjugacy classes. Recent work of Gonçalves and Kochloukova uses theExpand
Tree automorphisms and quasi-isometries of Thompson's group F
• Mathematics
• 2008
We prove that automorphisms of the infinite binary rooted tree T2 do not yield quasi-isometries of Thompson's group F, except for the map which reverses orientation on the unit interval, a naturalExpand

We describe, through the use of Rubin's theorem, the automorphism groups of the Higman-Thompson groups $G_{n,r}$ as groups of specific homeomorphisms of Cantor spaces $\mathfrak{C}_{n,r}$. ThisExpand
