Addendum to “Commensurations and subgroups of finite index of Thompson's group $F$”

José Burillo, Sean Cleary and Claas E Röver

Geometry & Topology 17 (2013) 1199–1203
Abstract

We show that the abstract commensurator of F is composed of four building blocks: two isomorphism types of simple groups, the multiplicative group of the positive rationals and a cyclic group of order two. The main result establishes the simplicity of a certain group of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the real line.
