Asymptotically rigid mapping class groups and Thompson's groups
Louis Funar, Christophe Kapoudjian, Vlad Sergiescu
We consider Thompson's groups from the perspective of mapping class groups of surfaces of infinite type. This point of view leads us to the braided Thompson groups, which are exten…

Central extensions of the Ptolemy-Thompson group and quantized Teichmuller theory
Louis Funar, Vlad Sergiescu
The central extension of the Thompson group that arises in the quantized Teichmüller theory is 12 times the Euler class. This extension is obtained by taking a (partial) abelia…

An extension of the Burau representation to a mapping class group associated to Thompson's group T
C. Kapoudjian, V. Sergiescu
We study some aspects of the geometric representation theory of the Thompson and Neretin groups, suggested by their analogies with the diffeomorphism groups of the circle. We prove…
