Title: Topological full groups of minimal Z^d actions

Abstract: I will discuss algebraic properties of topological full groups of minimal Z^d actions on the Cantor set: simplicity, generating sets. Some examples will be described: groups of interval exchange transformations, the full group of the Penrose tiling. This is a joint work with Kate Juschenko and Maxym Chornyi.
