On the type of the von Neumann algebra of an open subgroup of the Neretin group

Abstract

The Neretin group $\mathcal{N}_{d,k}$ is the totally disconnected locally compact group consisting of almost automorphisms of the tree $\mathcal{T}_{d,k}$. This group has a distinguished open subgroup $\mathcal{O}_{d,k}$. We prove that this open subgroup is not of type I. This gives an alternative proof of the recent result of P.-E. Caprace, A. Le Boudec and N. Matte Bon which states that the Neretin group is not of type I, and answers their question whether $\mathcal{O}_{d,k}$ is of type I or not.

Reversibility and its asymptotic counting in Picard group

We investigate reversible elements in the Picard modular group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[i])$. We show that reversibility coincides with strong reversibility for Kleinian groups, in particular for the Picard group. We classify reversible elements in the Picard group and characterize loxodromic reversible elements up to conjugacy. We prove that each such conjugacy class contains exactly eight special representatives. We also obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of reversible conjugacy classes with bounded trace.

Conjugator length in finitely generated groups

We describe all functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ that can be realized, up to the standard equivalence, as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups. Furthermore, we show that any two increasing functions $f,g\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ can be simultaneously realized as conjugator length functions of finitely generated, commensurable (in particular, quasi-isometric) groups.

The spectrum of conjugator length functions

A recent program tries to find which functions appear as conjugator length functions. In this note, we show that any (computable) increasing function larger than $n$ appears as $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ for some finitely generated (recursively presented) group. On the other hand, we demonstrate that either $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ must be constant or $\mathrm{Cl}_G(n)\succ n$. Combining these, we obtain a complete description of which functions appear as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups.
