Group Theory 2016-07-11 v2

Abstract

In this paper we study distortion of various well-known embeddings of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups GG into unitriangular groups UTn(Z)UT_n(\mathbb{Z}). We also provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding distortion of a given subgroup of GG
