Abstract

We study centralisers of finite order automorphisms of the
generalised Thompson groups Fn, ? and conjugacy classes of finite sub-
groups in finite extensions of Fn, ?. In particular we show that centralisers of finite automorphisms in Fn, ? are either of type FP? or not finitely generated.
As an application we deduce the following result about the Bredon type
of such finite extensions: any finite extension of Fn, ?, where the elements of finite order act on Fn, ? via conjugation with piecewise-linear
homeomorphisms, is of type Bredon F?. In particular finite extensions
of F = F2,? are of type Bredon F?.
