Contractibility of deformation spaces of G–trees
نویسنده
چکیده
Forester has defined spaces of simplicial tree actions for a finitely generated group, called deformation spaces. Culler and Vogtmann’s Outer space is an example of a deformation space. Using ideas from Skora’s proof of the contractibility of Outer space, we show that under some mild hypotheses deformation spaces are contractible. AMS Classification 20E08; 20F65, 20F28

Let G be a finitely generated group. Two simplicial G-trees are said to be in the same deformation space if they have the same elliptic subgroups (if H fixes a point in one tree, it also does in the other). Examples include Culler-Vogtmann’s outer space, and spaces of JSJ decompositions. We discuss what features are common to trees in a given deformation space, how to pass from one tree to all ...

متن کاملEdge Contractions in Subclasses of Chordal Graphs
Modifying a given graph to obtain another graph is a wellstudied problem with applications in many fields. Given two input graphs G and H, the Contractibility problem is to decide whether H can be obtained from G by a sequence of edge contractions. This problem is known to be NP-complete already when both input graphs are trees of bounded diameter. We prove that Contractibility can be solved in...
متن کاملA note on essentially left $phi$-contractible Banach algebras
In this note, we show that cite[Corollary 3.2]{sad} is not always true. In fact, we characterize essential left $phi$-contractibility of the group algebras in terms of compactness of its related locally compact group. Also, we show that for any compact commutative group $G$, $L^{2}(G)$ is always essentially left $phi$-contractible. We discuss the essential left $phi$-contractibility of some Fou...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Department of Mathematics Education, Chonbuk National University, Jeonju-City, Jeonbuk 54896, Republic of Korea Abstract Based on the notions of both contractibility and local contractibility, many works were done in fixed point theory. The present paper concerns a relation between digital contractibility and the exist...
