DESCRIPTION:Stefan Witzel\nRichard Thompson introduced three groups\, deno
 ted F\, T\, V\, which are interesting for various reasons. For example\, T
  an V were the first known examples of finitely presented infinite simple 
 groups. Better than being finitely presented they are in fact of type F_\\
 infty.\n\nIn subsequent years\, various groups have been constructed with 
 similar features. They are now jointly referred to as ``Thompson groups''.
  Many Thompson groups have been shown to be F_\\infty as well and the stra
 tegy is always similar.\n\nI will present a description of Thompson groups
  are fundamental groups of Ore categories. Using this framework I will des
 cribe how F_\\infty-proofs can be treated uniformly up to the point were s
 ome insight is needed.​
