Key Points

  • This research investigates the thresholds for property FA in random $$-gonal groups based on density.
  • Analyzed the binomial $$-gonal model for random groups with fixed-length relations.
  • Established density thresholds for the transition from free groups to property FA.
  • Interpreted results in relation to the structure of boundaries and the finiteness of the outer automorphism group.
  • Identified a double threshold near density $d=1/$ for changes in group properties.
  • Established that random $$-gonal groups have Menger sponge boundaries for densities between $1/$ and $1/2$.
  • Highlighted differences between thresholds for property FA and Kazhdan's property (T) when $  4$.

Abstract

In the binomial -gonal model for random groups, where the random relations all have fixed length 3 and the number of generators goes to infinity, we establish a double threshold near density d=1 where the group goes from being free to having Serre's property FA. As a consequence, random -gonal groups at densities 1 < d< 12 have boundaries homeomorphic to the Menger sponge, and 1 is also the threshold for finiteness of Out (G). We also see that the thresholds for property FA and Kazhdan's property (T) differ when 4. Our methods are inspired by work of Antoniuk-Luczak-\'Swiatkowski and Dahmani-Guirardel-Przytycki.
