Thompson's group $F$. Revisiting work of Gon\\c{c}alves-Kochloukova, we deduce a cohomological criterion to detect infinite fixed-point sets in the abelianization, implying the so-called property $R_\\infty$. Using the BNS $\\Sigma$-invariant and drawing from works of Gon\\c{c}alves-Sankaran-Strebel and Zaremsky, we show that our tool applies to many $F$-like groups, including Stein's $F_{2,3}$, Cleary's $F_\\tau$, the Lodha-Moore groups, and the braided version of $F$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-06-29T14:55:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E36", "20J05", "55M20", "57S05" ], "keywords": [ "reidemeister numbers", "thompson-like groups", "fixed points", "detect infinite fixed-point sets", "tool applies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
