   Format: MarkdownItexFumbling around [[Jonsson-Tarski topos]] I've created entries on [[Thompson group]] and [[Higman's theorem]]. Basically some links to further material. As Jónsson-Tarski seems to bring together a lot of stuff from different fields, I think we should have also some material on Tom's work on self-similarity here.

   Format: MarkdownItexApparently, there are two Higman's theorems and this one is called the [Higman embedding theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higman%27s_embedding_theorem)

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks for the information! The group theory text I am using from Collins-Zieschang call it just plainly 'theorem'. In principle the nlab should go with the most common name so I guess I will rename the entry.
