The Brin–Thompson groups sV are of type F

Vol. 266 (2013), No. 2, 283–295
Abstract

We prove that the Brin–Thompson groups sV , also called higher-dimensional Thompson’s groups, are of type F for all s . This result was previously shown for s 3, by considering the action of sV on a naturally associated space. Our key step is to replace this space by a subspace sX that is easier to analyze.
