Abstract

In [K. Bou-Rabee, B. Seward, J. Reine Angwe. Math. 2016] Bou-Rabee and Seward constructed examples of finitely generated residually finite groups GG whose residual finiteness growth function FG\mathcal{F}_G can be at least as fast as any prescribed function. In this note we describe a modified version of their construction, which allows us to give a complementary upper bound on FG\mathcal{F}_G. As such, every nondecreasing function at least exp(nlog(n)2loglog(n)1+ϵ)\exp ( n \log (n)^2 \log \log (n)^{1+\epsilon} ) is close to the residual finiteness growth function of some finitely generated group. We also have similar result for the full residual finiteness growth function and for the divisibility function.
