Abstract
We prove that no uncountable Polish group can admit a system of generators whose associated length function satisfies the following conditions: (i) if , then ; (ii) if and , then . In particular, the automorphism group of a countable structure cannot be an uncountable right-angled Artin group. This generalizes results from [3] and [5], where this is proved for free and free Abelian uncountable groups.
