We construct automata over a binary alphabet with $2n$ states, $n\geq 2$, whose states freely generate a free group of rank $2n$. Combined with previous work, this shows that a free group of every finite rank can be generated by finite…
We prove that three automorphisms of the rooted binary tree defined by a certain 3-state automaton generate a free non-Abelian group of rank 3.
We study the class of groups generated by automata that act essentially freely on the boundary of a rooted tree. In the process we establish and discuss some general tools for determining if a group belongs to this class, and explore the…
An approach to a classification of groups generated by 3-state automata over a 2-letter alphabet and the current progress in this direction are presented. Several results related to the whole class are formulated. In particular, all finite,…
We introduce two series of finite automata starting from the so-called Aleshin and Bellaterra automata. We prove that each automaton in the first series defines a free non-Abelian group while each automaton in the second series defines the…
We construct the groups $<A,B,C \;| \, A^2,B^2,C^2,(ABC)^2>$ and $<A,B \;| \, A^2,B^4,(AB)^4>$, using 3-state automata over the alphabets $\{1,2,3\}$ and $\{1,2,3,4\}$. In addition, we show, how to define direct powers of $G$ by automaton…
We construct a 4-state 2-letter bireversible automaton generating the lamplighter group $(\mathbb Z_2^2)\wr\mathbb Z$ of rank two. The action of the generators on the boundary of the tree can be induced by the affine transformations on the…
We prove that a semigroup generated by a reversible two-state Mealy automaton is either finite or free of rank 2. This fact leads to the decidability of finiteness for groups generated by two-state or two-letter invertible-reversible Mealy…
We classify all subgroups of $SO(3)$ that are generated by two elements, each a rotation of finite order, about axes separated by an angle that is a rational multiple of $\pi$. In all cases we give a presentation of the subgroup. In most…
We give sufficient conditions for when groups generated by automata in a class $\mathcal{C}$ of transducers, which contains the class of reset automata transducers, have infinite order. As a consequence we also demonstrate that if a group…
We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability…
The notion of an automaton over a changing alphabet $X=(X_i)_{i\geq 1}$ is used to define and study automorphism groups of the tree $X^*$ of finite words over $X$. The concept of bi-reversibility for Mealy-type automata is extended to…
We present obstruction results for self-similar groups regarding the generation of free groups. As a main consequence of our main results, we solve an open problem posed by Grigorchuk by showing that in an automaton group where a…
This paper deals with graph automaton groups associated with trees and some generalizations. We start by showing some algebraic properties of tree automaton groups. Then we characterize the associated semigroup, proving that it is…
We exploit the duality between quantum channels and sequentially generated states to construct families of highly entangled states that undergo phase transitions. These highly entangled states can be sequentially generated by collecting the…
A gyrogroup is a structure constituting from a non-empty set and a binary operation such that satisfying the left identity, and left inverse conditions, and also has the associative-like law said to be left gyroassociativity and left loop…
In this article we construct a piecewise Euclidean, non-positively curved 2-complex for the 3-generator Artin groups of large type. As a consequence we show that these groups are biautomatic. A slight modification of the proof shows that…
One of the key steps in the proof of the Banach-Tarski Theorem is the introduction of a free group of rotations. First, a free group of reduced words is generated where each element of the set is represented as an ACL2 list. Then we…
We show that the class of amalgamated free products of two free groups over a cyclic subgroup admits amenable, faithful and transitive actions on infinite countable sets. This work generalizes the results on such actions for doubles of free…
