Tree actions of automorphism groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce conditions on a group action on a tree that are sufficient for the action to extend to the automorphism group. We apply this to two different classes of one-relator groups: certain BaumslagSolitar groups and one-relator groups with centre. In each case we derive results about the automorphism group, and deduce that there are relatively few outer automorphisms.

Asymptotic aspects of Schreier graphs and Hanoi Towers groups
We present relations between growth, growth of diameters and the rate of vanishing of the spectral gap in Schreier graphs of automaton groups. In particular, we introduce a series of examples, called Hanoi Towers groups since they model the well known Hanoi Towers Problem, that illustrate some of the possible types of behavior. 1 Actions on rooted trees, automaton groups, and Hanoi Towers group...
متن کامل9 O ct 2 00 8 MOST ACTIONS ON REGULAR TREES ARE ALMOST FREE
Let T be a d-regular tree (d ≥ 3) and A = Aut(T ) its automorphism group. Let Γ be the group generated by n independent Haar-random elements of A. We show that almost surely, every nontrivial element of Γ has finitely many fixed points on T .
متن کاملThe Automorphism Group of the Gaussian Measure Cannot Act Pointwise
Classical ergodic theory deals with measure (or measure class) preserving actions of locally compact groups on Lebesgue spaces. An important tool in this setting is a theorem of Mackey which provides spatial models for Boolean G-actions. We show that in full generality this theorem does not hold for actions of Polish groups. In particular there is no Borel model for the Polish automorphism grou...
متن کاملNILPOTENCY AND SOLUBILITY OF GROUPS RELATIVE TO AN AUTOMORPHISM
In this paper we introduce the concept of α-commutator which its definition is based on generalized conjugate classes. With this notion, α-nilpotent groups, α-solvable groups, nilpotency and solvability of groups related to the automorphism are defined. N(G) and S(G) are the set of all nilpotency classes and the set of all solvability classes for the group G with respect to different automorphi...
متن کاملAUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF GROUPS OF ORDER pqr
H"{o}lder in 1893 characterized all groups of order $pqr$ where $p>q>r$ are prime numbers. In this paper, by using new presentations of these groups, we compute their full automorphism group.
