Abstract: We give sufficient conditions for a subgroup of a tree almost automorphism group to be isomorphic to the topological full groups of a one-sided shift in the sense of Matui. As an application, we show that almost automorphism groups of trees obtained from universal groups constructed by Burger and Mozes are compactly generated and virtually simple. In addition, using the approach of Bader, Caprace, Gelander and Mozes we show that some of these almost automorphism groups do not have any lattice.

Review text

Lederle establishes and utilises a connection between topological full groups of étale groupoids associated to one-sided shifts after \textit{H. Matui} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 104, No. 1, 27--56 (2012; Zbl 1325.19001); J. Reine Angew. Math. 705, 35--84 (2015; Zbl 1372.22006)] and almost automorphism groups of trees after \textit{Yu. A. Neretin} [Russ. Acad. Sci., Izv., Math. 41, No. 2, 1072--1085 (1992; Zbl 0789.22036); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Ser. Mat. 56, No. 5, 1072--1085 (1992)] to construct compactly generated, locally compact totally disconnected groups that are virtually simple and do not have lattices. An étale groupoid is a small category in which all morphisms are isomorphisms and whose object and morphism space are topologised in such a way that all structure maps are continuous, and source and range are local homeomorphisms. The associated topological full group is defined as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of the object space, which is typically a Cantor space. An almost automorphism of a locally finite tree \(T\) is an equivalence class of forest isomorphisms that arise from removing finite subtrees from \(T\). It can be viewed as a homeomorphism of the boundary of \(T\), which is also a Cantor space. Lederle shows, using the newly established connection above and Matui's theory, that the groups of almost automorphisms arising from certain Burger-Mozes universal groups [\textit{M. Burger} and \textit{S. Mozes}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 92, 113--150 (2000; Zbl 1007.22012)] have the desired, rare properties. The no-lattice argument follows the approach of [\textit{U. Bader} et al., Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 44, No. 1, 55--67 (2012; Zbl 1239.22007)]. In particular, Lederle provides a family of candidates of groups without invariant random subgroups.
