Bredon cohomological finiteness conditions for generalisations of Thompson groups

Bredon cohomological finiteness conditions for generalisations of Thompson groups
We define a family of groups that generalises Thompson’s groups T and G, and also those of Higman, Stein and Brin. For groups in this family we describe centralisers of finite subgroups and show that for a given finite subgroup Q there are finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups isomorphic to Q. We consider groups of type quasi-F−−∞. This is a property slightly weaker than possessing a finite type model for the classifying space for proper actions E−−G. We give criteria for the T versions of our groups to be of type quasi-F−−∞. We also generalise some well-known properties of ordinary cohomology to Bredon cohomology.

Abstract

We define a family of groups that generalises Thompson’s groups T and G, and also those of Higman, Stein and Brin. For groups in this family we describe centralisers of finite subgroups and show that for a given finite subgroup Q there are finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups isomorphic to Q. We consider groups of type quasi-F−−∞. This is a property slightly weaker than possessing a finite type model for the classifying space for proper actions E−−G. We give criteria for the T versions of our groups to be of type quasi-F−−∞. We also generalise some well-known properties of ordinary cohomology to Bredon cohomology.
