Groups of $\mathrm{I}_G$-type

Abstract

In this work, we address a question posed by Dehornoy et al. in the book "Foundations of Garside Theory" that asks for a theory of groups of $\mathrm{I}_G$-type when $G$ is a Garside group. In this article, we introduce a broader notion than the one suggested by Dehornoy et al.: given a left-ordered group $G$, we define a group of $\mathrm{I}_G$-type as a left-ordered group whose partial order is isomorphic to those of $G$. Furthermore, we develop methods to give a characterization of groups of $\mathrm{I}_{\Gamma}$-type in terms of skew braces when $\Gamma$ is an Artin-Tits group of spherical type and classify all groups of $\mathrm{I}_{\Gamma}$-type where $\Gamma$ is an irreducible spherical Artin-Tits group, therefore providing an answer to another question of Dehornoy et al. concerning $\mathrm{I}_{B_n}$ structures where $B_n$ is the braid group on $n$ strands with its canonical Garside structure.

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.
