ACC Seminar: Many Trivially Generated Groups Are the Same
Department of Mathematical Sciences
Location: North Building Room 316 and Zoom (Passcode: ACC)
Speaker: Samuel Corson, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
ABSTRACT
When the algebraic generators of a group are all trivial then the group is also trivial. However, when the group is combinatorially described using infinite words, the "generators" can be trivial while the group is uncountable. I will give background and present work showing that many natural examples of such groups are isomorphic.
