Maximal Subgroups of Thompson's Group V
Algebra Seminar
9th December 2020, 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Online, Zoom
There has been a long interest in embedding and non-embedding results for groups in the Thompson family. One way to get at results of this form is to classify maximal subgroups. In this talk, we will define certain labelings of binary trees and use them to produce a large family of new maximal subgroups of Thompson's group V. We also relate them to a conjecture about Thompson's group T.
This is joint, ongoing work with Jim Belk, Collin Bleak, and Martyn Quick at the University of Saint Andrews.
