Estimations de dimensions de Minkowski dans l’espace des groupes marqués

Luc Guyot (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Dans cet article, on montre que l’espace des groupes marqués est un sous-espace fermé d’un ensemble de Cantor dont la dimension de Hausdorff est infinie. On prouve que la dimension de Minkowski de cet espace est infinie en exhibant des sous-ensembles de groupes marqués à petite simplification dont les dimensions de Minkowski sont arbitrairement grandes. On donne une estimation des dimensions de Minkowski de sous-espaces de groupes à un relateur. On démontre enfin que les dimensions de Minkowski...

Fractal representation of the attractive lamination of an automorphism of the free group

Pierre Arnoux, Valérie Berthé, Arnaud Hilion, Anne Siegel (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper, we extend to automorphisms of free groups some results and constructions that classically hold for morphisms of the free monoid, i.e., the so-called substitutions. A geometric representation of the attractive lamination of a class of automorphisms of the free group (irreducible with irreducible powers (iwip) automorphisms) is given in the case where the dilation coefficient of the automorphism is a unit Pisot number. The shift map associated with the attractive symbolic lamination...

Geometric subgroups of surface braid groups

Luis Paris, Dale Rolfsen (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let M be a surface, let N be a subsurface, and let n m be two positive integers. The inclusion of N in M gives rise to a homomorphism from the braid group B n N with n strings on N to the braid group B m M with m strings on M . We first determine necessary and sufficient conditions that this homomorphism is injective, and we characterize the commensurator, the normalizer and the centralizer of π 1 N in π 1 M . Then we calculate the commensurator, the normalizer and the centralizer of B n N in B m M for large surface braid...

Group-theoretic conditions under which closed aspherical manifolds are covered by Euclidean space

Hanspeter Fischer, David G. Wright (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Hass, Rubinstein, and Scott showed that every closed aspherical (irreducible) 3-manifold whose fundamental group contains the fundamental group of a closed aspherical surface, is covered by Euclidean space. This theorem does not generalize to higher dimensions. However, we provide geometric tools with which variations of this theorem can be proved in all dimensions.
