Abstract

If GG is a Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki group defined over a pp-adic tree, where pp is an odd prime, we study the existence of Beauville surfaces associated to the quotients of GG by its level stabilizers \stG(n)\st_G(n). We prove that if GG is periodic then the quotients G/\stG(n)G/\st_G(n) are Beauville groups for every n2n\geq 2 if p5p\geq 5 and n3n\geq 3 if p=3p=3. On the other hand, if GG is non-periodic, then none of the quotients G/\stG(n)G/\st_G(n) are Beauville groups.
