The maximality of T in Thompson's group V

James Belk, Collin Patrick Bleak, Martyn Quick, Rachel Skipper

Research output: Working paper › Preprint

Abstract

We show that R. Thompson's group T is a maximal subgroup of the group V. The argument provides examples of foundational calculations which arise when expressing elements of V as products of transpositions of basic clopen sets in Cantor space ℭ.
