A Minimal Non-solvable Group of Homeomorphisms
نویسنده
چکیده
Let PL0(I) represent the group of orientation-preserving piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval which admit finitely many breaks in slope, under the operation of composition. We find a non-solvable groupW and show thatW embeds in every non-solvable subgroup of PL0(I). We find mild conditions under which other non-solvable subgroups (B, (≀Z≀), (Z≀), and (≀Z)) embed in subgroups of PL0(I). We show that all solvable subgroups of PL0(I) embed in all non-solvable subgroups of PL0(I). These results continue to apply if we replace PL0(I) by any generalized R. Thompson group Fn.

A Geometric Classification of Some Solvable Groups of Homeomorphisms
We investigate subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear, orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval with finitely many breaks in slope, under the operation of composition, and also subgroups of generalized Thompson groups Fn. We find geometric criteria determining the derived length of any such group, and use this criteria to produce a geometric classification of the so...

متن کاملStructure theorems for subgroups of homeomorphisms groups
Let Homeo(S) represent the full group of homeomorphisms of the unit circle S, and let A represent the set of subgroups of Homeo(S) satisfying the two properties that if G ∈ A then 1) G contains only orientationpreserving homeomorphisms of S and 2) G contains no non-abelian free subgroups. In this article we use classical results about homeomorphisms of the circle and elementary dynamical method...
متن کاملSome finite groups with divisibility graph containing no triangles
Let $G$ be a finite group. The graph $D(G)$ is a divisibility graph of $G$. Its vertex set is the non-central conjugacy class sizes of $G$ and there is an edge between vertices $a$ and $b$ if and only if $a|b$ or $b|a$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a non-solvable group with $sigma^{ast}(G)=2$, a finite simple group $G$ that satisfies the one-p...
