Actions of Thompson group F. II
The answer to the question as stated is yes, there is no binary tree as a subgraph for the standard action with standard generators (but there is a binary tree for some generating set). It follows fro …

Actions of Thompson group F
$F$ is bi-orderable, so if you care about actions by homeomorphisms on the line, you can pick up a bi-ordering and produce a dynamical realization: a faithful almost free action ( see Proposition 3.4 …

Partition of a group into small subsets
A nonempty subset $S$ of a group $G$ is called small if there is an infinite sequence of elements $g_n$ in $G$ such that the translated sets $g_nS$ are pairwise disjoint.

Trees in groups of exponential growth
This (so nice) question seems to be equivalent with the notorious and old problem of constructing a supraamenable (or superamenable) group of exponential growth. Recall that a supraamenable group is o …
