The Twisted Twin of the Grigorchuk Group

Group Theory 2010-06-30 v1

Abstract

We study a twisted version of Grigorchuk's first group, and stress its similarities and differences to its model. In particular, we show that it admits a finite endomorphic presentation, has infinite-rank multiplier, and does not have the congruence property.
