Embedding Median Algebras in Products of Trees

چکیده

We show that a metric median algebra satisfying certain conditions admits a bilipschitz embedding into a finite product of R-trees. This gives rise to a characterisation of closed connected subalgebras of finite products of complete R-trees up to bilipschitz equivalence. Spaces of this sort arise as asymptotic cones of coarse median spaces. This applies to a large class of finitely generated groups, via their Cayley graphs. We show that such groups satisfy the rapid decay property. We also recover the result of Behrstock, Druţu and Sapir, that the asymptotic cone of the mapping class group embeds in a finite product of R-trees. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification : 20F65

Arrow type impossibility theorems over median algebras

We characterize trees as median algebras and semilattices by relaxing conservativeness. Moreover, we describe median homomorphisms between products of median algebras and show that Arrow type impossibility theorems for mappings from a product A1 ˆ ̈ ̈ ̈ ˆ An of median algebras to a median algebra B are possible if and only if B is a tree, when thought of as an ordered structure.

Embedding Topological Median Algebras in Products of Dendrons

Dendrons and their products admit a natural, continuous median operator. We prove that there exists a two-dimensional metric continuum with a continuous median operator, for which there is no median-preserving embedding in a product of finitely many dendrons. Our method involves ideas and results concerning graph colouring and abstract convexity. The main result answers a question in [16] negat...

Gorenstein Semigroup Algebras of Weighted Trees

We classify exactly when the toric algebras C[ST (r)] are Gorenstein. These algebras arise as toric deformations of algebras of invariants of the Cox-Nagata ring of the blow-up of n − 1 points on P, or equivalently algebras of the ring of global sections for the Plücker embedding of weight varieties of the Grassmanian Gr2(Cn), and algebras of global sections for embeddings of moduli of weighted...

Presentations of Semigroup Algebras of Weighted Trees

We find presentations for subalgebras of invariants of the coordinate algebras of binary symmetric models of phylogenetic trees studied by Buczynska and Wisniewski in [BW]. These algebras arise as toric degenerations of rings of global sections of weight varieties of the Grassmanian of two planes associated to the Plücker embedding, and as toric degenerations of rings of invariants of Cox-Nagat...

AF-embeddability of crossed products of Cuntz algebras

We investigate crossed products of Cuntz algebras by quasi-free actions of abelian groups. We prove that our algebras are AF-embeddable when actions satisfy a certain condition. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition that our algebras become simple and purely infinite, and consequently our algebras are either purely infinite or AF-embeddable when they are simple.
