    Brown has defined the generalised Thompson's group FnF_n, TnT_n, where nn is an integer at least 22 and Thompson's groups F=F2F= F_2 and T=T2T =T_2 in the 80's. Burillo, Cleary and Stein have found that there is a quasi-isometric embedding from FnF_n to FmF_m where nn and mm are positive integers at least 2. We show that there is a quasi-isometric embedding from TnT_n to T2T_2 for any nβ‰₯2n \geq 2 and no embeddings from T2T_2 to TnT_n for nβ‰₯3n \geq 3

    Let GG be a finitely generated group acting faithfully and properly discontinuously by homeomorphisms on a planar surface XβŠ†S2X \subseteq \mathbb{S}^2. We prove that GG admits such an action that is in addition co-compact, provided we can replace XX by another surface YβŠ†S2Y \subseteq \mathbb{S}^2. We also prove that if a group HH has a finitely generated Cayley (multi-)graph CC covariantly embeddable in S2\mathbb{S}^2, then CC can be chosen so as to have no infinite path on the boundary of a face. The proofs of these facts are intertwined, and the classes of groups they define coincide. In the orientation-preserving case they are exactly the (isomorphism types of) finitely generated Kleinian function groups. We construct a finitely generated planar Cayley graph whose group is not in this class. In passing, we observe that the Freudenthal compactification of every planar surface is homeomorphic to the sphere
