Extension Problem of Subset-controlled Quasimorphisms
Let (G,H) be (Ham(R2n),Ham(B2n)) or (B∞, Bn). We conjecture that any semi-homogeneous subset-controlled quasimorphism on [G,G] can be extended to a homogeneous subset-controlled quasimorphism on G and also give a theorem supporting this conjecture by using a Bavard-type duality theorem on conjugation invariant norms. 1. Problems and results To state our conjecture, we introduce the notion of su...
متن کاملDivergence and Quasimorphisms of Right-angled Artin Groups
We give a group theoretic characterization of geodesics with superlinear divergence in the Cayley graph of a right-angled Artin group AΓ with connected defining graph. We use this to prove that the divergence of AΓ is linear if Γ is a join and quadratic otherwise. As an application, we give a complete description of the cut points in any asymptotic cone of AΓ. We also show that every non-abelia...
متن کاملCombable functions , quasimorphisms , and the central limit theorem
A function on a discrete group is weakly combable if its discrete derivative with respect to a combing can be calculated by a finite-state automaton. A weakly combable function is bicombable if it is Lipschitz in both the leftand right-invariant word metrics. Examples of bicombable functions on word-hyperbolic groups include: (1) homomorphisms to Z; (2) word length with respect to a finite gene...
متن کاملCeteris Paribus Laws and Minutis Rectis Laws
Special science generalizations admit of exceptions. Among the class of nonexceptionless special science generalizations, I distinguish (what I will call) minutis rectis (mr) generalizations from the more familiar category of ceteris paribus (cp) generalizations. I argue that the challenges involved in showing that mr generalizations can play the law role are underappreciated, and quite differe...
متن کاملStable Commutator Length in Baumslag–solitar Groups and Quasimorphisms for Tree Actions
This paper has two parts, on Baumslag–Solitar groups and on general G–trees. In the first part we establish bounds for stable commutator length (scl) in Baumslag–Solitar groups. For a certain class of elements, we further show that scl is computable and takes rational values. We also determine exactly which of these elements admit extremal surfaces. In the second part we establish a universal l...
