Abstract

Let GG be one of the lamplighter groups (Z/p\bz)nZ({\mathbb{Z}/p\bz})^n\wr\mathbb{Z} and \Sub(G)\Sub(G) the space of all subgroups of GG. We determine the perfect kernel and Cantor-Bendixson rank of \Sub(G)\Sub(G). The space of all conjugation-invariant Borel probability measures on \Sub(G)\Sub(G) is a simplex. We show that this simplex has a canonical Poulsen subsimplex whose complement has only a countable number of extreme points. If FF is a finite group and Γ\Gamma an infinite group which does not have property (T)(T) then the conjugation-invariant probability measures on \Sub(FΓ)\Sub(F\wr\Gamma) supported on ΓF\oplus_\Gamma F also form a Poulsen simplex.

Comments

This version has new results: the determination of the perfect kernel of the space of subgroups and its Cantor-Bendixon rank and more general results on lamplighters
