The square model for random groups

Tomasz Odrzygóźdź (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce a new random group model called the square model: we quotient a free group on n generators by a random set of relations, each of which is a reduced word of length 4. We prove that, just as in the Gromov model, for densities > 1/2 a random group in the square model is trivial with overwhelming probability and for densities < 1/2 a random group is hyperbolic with overwhelming probability. Moreover, we show that for densities d < 1/3 a random group in the square model does not...

The structure of disjoint iteration groups on the circle

Krzysztof Ciepliński (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The aim of the paper is to investigate the structure of disjoint iteration groups on the unit circle 𝕊 1 , that is, families = { F v 𝕊 1 𝕊 1 v V } of homeomorphisms such that F v 1 F v 2 = F v 1 + v 2 , v 1 , v 2 V , and each F v either is the identity mapping or has no fixed point ( ( V , + ) is an arbitrary 2 -divisible nontrivial (i.e., c a r d V > 1 ) abelian group).

The tame automorphism group of an affine quadric threefold acting on a square complex

Cinzia Bisi, Jean-Philippe Furter, Stéphane Lamy (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

We study the group Tame ( SL 2 ) of tame automorphisms of a smooth affine 3 -dimensional quadric, which we can view as the underlying variety of SL 2 ( ) . We construct a square complex on which the group admits a natural cocompact action, and we prove that the complex is CAT ( 0 ) and hyperbolic. We propose two applications of this construction: We show that any finite subgroup in Tame ( SL 2 ) is linearizable, and that Tame ( SL 2 ) satisfies the Tits alternative.
