Thompson’s group V is a group of permutations of the ends of a binary tree, which is well-studied for its many interesting properties, which often resemble finite symmetric groups. It can be defined as a group of unitary elements of a Leavitt path algebra, which acts on paths in a graph by adding or removing edges. In this seminar, we discuss constructions which add tree automorphisms to Thompson groups and Leavitt path algebras. We describe tree automorphisms using the Bass-Serre theory of graphs of groups. Finally, we consider which properties of V remain true for the new groups, focusing on simplicity properties.
