The Chabauty space of a topological group is the set of its closed subgroups, endowed with a natural topology. As soon as $n>2$, the Chabauty space of $R^n$ has a rather intricate topology and is not a manifold. By an investigation of its local structure, we fit it into a wider, but too wild, class of topological spaces (namely Goresky-MacPherson stratified spaces). Thanks to a localization theorem, this local study also leads to the main result of this article: the Chabauty space of $R^n$ is simply connected for all $n$. Last, we give an alternative proof of the Hubbard-Pourezza Theorem, which describes the Chabauty space of $R^2$.

We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an open manifold M that are isotopic to the identity. If M is the interior of a compact manifold with nonempty boundary, then the quotient of A_0 by the normal subgroup of diffeomorphisms that coincide with the identity near to a given end e of M is simple.
We prove that Thompsons group $F$ has a subgroup $H$ such that the conjugacy problem in $H$ is undecidable and the membership problem in $H$ is easily decidable. The subgroup $H$ of $F$ is a closed subgroup of $F$. That is, every function in $F$ which is a piecewise-$H$ function belongs to $H$. Other interesting examples of closed subgroups of $F$ include Jones subgroups $overrightarrow{F}_n$ and Jones $3$-colorable subgroup $mathcal F$. By a recent result of the first author, all maximal subgroups of $F$ of infinite index are closed. In this paper we prove that if $Kleq F$ is finitely generated then the closure of $K$, i.e., the smallest closed subgroup of $F$ which contains $K$, is finitely generated. We also prove that all finitely generated closed subgroups of $F$ are undistorted in $F$. In particular, all finitely generated maximal subgroups of $F$ are undistorted in $F$.
In this paper we describe the local limits under conjugation of all closed connected subgroups of $SL_3(mathbb{R})$ in the Chabauty topology.
We study the Chabauty compactification of two families of closed subgroups of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. The first family is the set of all parahoric subgroups of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. Although the Chabauty compactification of parahoric subgroups is well studied, we give a different and more geometric proof using various Levi decompositions of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $C$ be the subgroup of diagonal matrices in $SL(n, mathbb{Q}_p)$. The second family is the set of all $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of $C$. We give a classification of the Chabauty limits of conjugates of $C$ using the action of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$ on its associated Bruhat--Tits building and compute all of the limits for $nleq 4$ (up to conjugacy). In contrast, for $ngeq 7$ we prove there are infinitely many $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-nonconjugate Chabauty limits of conjugates of $C$. Along the way we construct an explicit homeomorphism between the Chabauty compactification in $mathfrak{sl}(n, mathbb{Q}_p)$ of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of the $p$-adic Lie algebra of $C$ and the Chabauty compactification of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of $C$.
This paper uses work of Haettel to classify all subgroups of PGL(4,R) isomorphic to (R^3 , +), up to conjugacy. We use this to show there are 4 families of generalized cusps up to projective equivalence in dimension 3.
