Abstract

We investigate fixed-point properties of automorphisms of groups similar to Richard Thompson’s group F. Revisiting work of Gonçalves and Kochloukova, we deduce a cohomological criterion to detect infinite fixed-point sets in the abelianization, implying the so-called property R-infinity. Using the Bieri–Neumann–Strebel Sigma-invariant and drawing from works of Gonçalves–Sankaran–Strebel and Zaremsky, we show that our tool applies to many F-like
groups, including Stein’s group F_{2,3}, cleary’s irrational-slope group F_τ , the Lodha–Moore groups, and the braided version of F.
