Iterated Monodromy Groups of Exponential Maps

Abstract

This paper introduces iterated monodromy groups for transcendental functions and discusses them in the simplest setting, for post-singularly finite exponential functions. These groups are self-similar groups in a natural way, based on an explicit construction in terms of kneading sequences. We investigate the group theoretic properties of these groups, and show in particular that they are amenable, but they are not elementary subexponentially amenable.
