The derived series of GGS-groups

Group Theory 2026-05-06 v2

Abstract

Given a GGS-group GG with non-constant defining tuple over a prime-regular rooted tree, we calculate the indices G:G(n)|G:G^{(n)}| and describe the structure of the higher derived subgroups G(n)G^{(n)} for all nNn \in \mathbb{N}. We find that the values G:G(n)|G:G^{(n)}| depend only mildly on the structure of the defining tuple.
