The main corollary of this theorem says that a noncyclic free group of finite rank admits a faithful highly transitive action on an infinite set, whereas the restriction of this action to any finitely generated subgroup of infinite index in F has no infinite orbits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-08-14T17:52:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finitely generated subgroup", "infinite index", "noncyclic free group", "finite rank admits", "infinite orbits" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1308.3192O" } } }
