The action of the Thompson group F on infinite trees
Abstract
We construct an action of the Thompson group F on a compact space built from pairs of infinite, binary rooted trees. The action arises as an F-equivariant compactification of the action of F by translations on one of its homogeneous spaces, F/H2, corresponding to a certain subgroup H2 of F. The representation of F on the Hilbert space l2(F/H2) is faithful on the complex group algebra C[F].
