Sharp Inequalities for Weyl Operators and Heisenberg Groups.
Denote by , , the regular tree whose vertices have valence , its boundary. Yu. A. Neretin has proposed a group of transformations of , thought of as a combinatorial analogue of the diffeomorphism group of the circle. We show that is generated by two groups: the group of tree automorphisms, and a Higman-Thompson group . We prove the simplicity of and of a family of its subgroups.
