On p-adic Integers and The Adding Machine Group

Group Theory 2011-01-13 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we define a natural metric on Aut(X*) and prove that the closure of the adding machine group, a subgroup of the automorphism group, is both isometric and isomorphic to the group of p-adic integers. So, we show that the group of p-adic integers can be isometrically embedded into the metric space Aut(X*).
