Pure Braid Subgroups of Braided Thompson’s Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe pure braided versions of Thompson’s group F . These groups, BF and B̂F , are subgroups of the braided versions of Thompson’s group V , introduced by Brin and Dehornoy. Unlike V , elements of F are order-preserving self-maps of the interval and we use pure braids together with elements of F thus preserving order. We define these groups and give normal forms for elements and describe infinite and finite presentations of these groups.

Metric Properties of the Braided Thompson’s Groups
Braided Thompson’s groups are finitely presented groups introduced by Brin and Dehornoy which contain the ordinary braid groups Bn, the finitary braid group B∞ and Thompson’s group F as subgroups. We describe some of the metric properties of braided Thompson’s groups and give upper and lower bounds for word length in terms of the number of strands and the number of crossings in the diagrams use...
متن کاملBi-orderings on Pure Braided Thompson’s Groups
In this paper it is proved that the pure braided Thompson’s group BF admits a bi-order, analog to the bi-order of the pure braid groups.
متن کاملVassiliev Invariants and Knots modulo Pure Braid Subgroups
We show that two knots have matching Vassiliev invariants of order less than n if and only if they are equivalent modulo the nth group of the lower central series of some pure braid group, thus characterizing Vassiliev’s knot invariants in terms of the structure of the braid groups. We also prove some results about knots modulo the nth derived subgroups of the pure braid groups, and about knots...
متن کاملFiniteness Properties of Some Groups of Local Similarities
Hughes has defined a class of groups, which we call FSS (finite similarity structure) groups. Each FSS group acts on a compact ultrametric space by local similarities. The best-known example is Thompson’s group V . Guided by previous work on Thompson’s group V , we establish a number of new results about FSS groups. Our main result is that a class of FSS groups are of type F∞. This generalizes ...
متن کاملClassification of the virtually cyclic subgroups of the pure braid groups of the projective plane
We classify the (finite and infinite) virtually cyclic subgroups of the pure braid groups PnpRP2q of the projective plane. The maximal finite subgroups of PnpRP2q are isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8 if n 3, and to Z4 if n ¥ 4. Further, for all n ¥ 3, up to isomorphism, the following groups are the infinite virtually cyclic subgroups of PnpRP2q: Z, Z2 Z and the amalgamated product ...
