      Article
      Accés obert
      In [7] Monod introduced examples of groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms which are not amenable and which do not contain free subgroups, and in [6] Lodha and Moore introduced examples of finitely presented groups ...

      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés obert
      El tema principal de este trabajo es la introducción del grupo F de Thompson, que fue definido el 1965 por Richard Thompson. Nuestro objetivo principal es el estudio del grupo F de Thompson, partiendo de su definición y ...
    • Extensions de l'algorisme clàssic de Whitehead 

      Balle Pigem, Borja de (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-02)
      Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
      Accés obert
      L'algoritme clàssic de Whitehead decideix si dues paraules del grup lliure pertanyen o no a la mateixa òrbita per l'acció del grup d'automorfismes. La demostració clàssica és molt combinatòrica i tècnica (i desagradable ...
    • Finite automata for Schreier graphs of virtually free groups 

      Silva, Pedro V.; Soler Escrivà, Xaro; Ventura Capell, Enric (2016-01-01)
      Article

      Article
      Accés obert
      For a compact surface Sigma (orientable or not, and with boundary or not), we show that the fixed subgroup, Fix B, of any family B of endomorphisms of pi(1)(Sigma) is compressed in pi(1)(Sigma), i.e. rk(Fix B) <= rk(H) for ...
