Relations with a fixed interval exchange transformation
Abstract
We study the group of all interval exchange transformations (IETs). We show that for every IET S, there exists a dense open set of admissible IETs that share a relation with S. This is an extension of a result published by Dahmani, Fujiwara and Guirardel in 2013: the group generated by a generic pair of elements of IET([0;1[) is not free (assuming a suitable condition on the underlying permutation). Key words: interval exchange transformations, free group of rank 2, interval exchange transformations with flips.
