Folner sets of alternate directed groups

Jérémie Brieussel (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

An explicit family of Folner sets is constructed for some directed groups acting on a rooted tree of sublogarithmic valency by alternate permutations. In the case of bounded valency, these groups were known to be amenable by probabilistic methods. The present construction provides a new and independent proof of amenability, using neither random walks, nor word length.

Amenable, transitive and faithful actions of groups acting on trees

Pierre Fima (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study under which condition an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite subgroup admits an amenable, transitive and faithful action on an infinite countable set. We show that such an action exists if the initial groups admit an amenable and almost free action with infinite orbits (e.g. virtually free groups or infinite amenable groups). Our result relies on the Baire category Theorem. We extend the result to groups acting on trees.

The geometry of abstract groups and their splittings.

Charles Terence Clegg Wall (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

A survey of splitting theorems for abstract groups and their applications. Topics covered include preliminaries, early results, Bass-Serre theory, the structure of G-trees, Serre's applications to SL and length functions. Stallings' theorem, results about accessibility and bounds for splittability. Duality groups and pairs; results of Eckmann and collaborators on PD groups. Relative ends, the JSJ theorems and the splitting results of Kropholler and Roller on PD groups. Notions of quasi-isometry,...
