Regular and semi-regular representations of groups by posetsBarmak, Jonathan A. (Avtor) automorphism group of posetsCayley graphDehn presentationsimple groupsrandom groupsBy a result of Babai, with finitely many exceptions, every group G admits a semi-regular poset representation with three orbits, that is, a poset P with automorphism group Aut(P) ≃ G such that the action of Aut(P) on the underlying set is free and with three orbits. Among finite groups, only the trivial group and ℤ_2 have a regular poset representation (i.e. semi-regular with one orbit), however many infinite groups admit such a representation. In this paper we study non-necessarily finite groups which have a regular representation or a semi-regular representation with two orbits. We prove that if G admits a Cayley graph which is locally the Cayley graph of a free group, then it has a semi-regular representation of height 1 with two orbits. In this case we will see that any extension of the integers by G admits a regular representation. Applications are given to finite simple groups, hyperbolic groups, random groups and indicable groups.Založba Univerze na Primorskem20252025-10-21 22:11:33Članek v reviji21991sl
