Free Entropy Dimension in Amalgamated Free Products
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non–microstates free entropy dimension agree f...
متن کاملStable Commutator Length of a Dehn Twist
It is proved that the stable commutator length of a Dehn twist in the mapping class group is positive and the tenth power of a Dehn twist about a nonseparating simple closed curve is a product of two commutators. As an application a new proof of the fact that the growth rate of a Dehn twist is linear is given.
متن کاملAmenable Actions of Amalgamated Free Products
We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such an action, which applies for example to surface groups and fundamental groups of surface bundles over S.
متن کاملPositive theories of HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products
It is shown that the positive first-order theory of an HNN-extension G = 〈H, t; tat = φ(a)(a ∈ A)〉 can be reduced to the existential firstorder theory of G provided that A and B are proper subgroups of the base group H with A∩B finite. For an amalgamated free product G = H ∗A J , we show that the positive first-order theory of G can be reduced to the existential first-order theory of G in case ...
متن کاملFinitely Generated Infinite Simple Groups of Infinite Commutator Width and Vanishing Stable Commutator Length
It is shown that there exists a finitely generated infinite simple group of infinite commutator width and infinite square width in which every conjugation-invariant norm is stably bounded, and in particular stable commutator length vanishes. Moreover, a recursive presentation of such a group with decidable word and conjugacy problems is constructed.
