A constructive way to compute the Tarski number of a group

Group Theory 2018-04-10 v2

Abstract

The Tarski number of a group GG is the minimal number of the pieces of paradoxical decompositions of that group. Using configurations along with a matrix combinatorial property we construct paradoxical decompositions. We also compute an upper bound for the Tarski number of a given non-amenable group by counting the number of paths in a diagram associated to the group.
