A free group of piecewise linear transformations

Grzegorz Tomkowicz (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove the following conjecture of J. Mycielski: There exists a free nonabelian group of piecewise linear, orientation and area preserving transformations which acts on the punctured disk {(x,y) ∈ ℝ²: 0 < x² + y² < 1} without fixed points.

A locally commutative free group acting on the plane

Kenzi Satô (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a free subgroup of the group of all affine transformations on the plane with determinant 1 such that the action of the subgroup is locally commutative.

A note on the continuous extensions of injective morphisms between free groups to relatively fre profinite groups.

Thierry Coulbois, Mark Sapir, Pascal Weil (2003)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let V be a pseudovariety of finite groups such that free groups are residually V, and let φ: F(A) → F(B) be an injective morphism between finitely generated free groups. We characterize the situations where the continuous extension φ' of φ between the pro-V completions of F(A) and F(B) is also injective. In particular, if V is extension-closed, this is the case if and only if φ(F(A)) and its pro-V closure in F(B) have the same rank. We examine a number of situations where the injectivity of φ' can...
