Free limits of Thompsons group $F$


Abstract in English

We produce a sequence of markings $S_k$ of Thompsons group $F$ within the space ${mathcal G}_n$ of all marked $n$-generator groups so that the sequence $(F,S_k)$ converges to the free group on $n$ generators, for $n geq 3$. In addition, we give presentations for the limits of some other natural (convergent) sequences of markings to consider on $F$ within ${mathcal G}_3$, including $(F,{x_0,x_1,x_n})$ and $(F,{x_0,x_1,x_0^n})$.
