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 the first known examples of infinite subgroups of the outer automorphism group of Out(A_Gamma), for certain right-angled Artin groups A_Gamma. This is achieved by introducing a new class of graphs, called focused graphs, whose…

We describe in terms of automata theory the automatic actions with post-critically finite limit space. We prove that these actions are precisely the actions by bounded automata and that any self-similar action by bounded automata is…

We define a class of languages of infinite words over infinite alphabets, and the corresponding automata. The automata used for recognition are a generalisation of deterministic Muller automata to the setting of nominal sets. Remarkably,…

We explicitly determine the automorphism groups of all self-similar trees (a.k.a. trees with finitely many cone types). We show that any such automorphism group is a direct limit of certain finite products of finite symmetric groups, which…

We study natural linear representations of self-similar groups over finite fields. In particular, we show that if the group is generated by a finite automaton, then obtained matrices are automatic. This shows a new relation between two…

Cayley graphs have a number of useful features: the ability to graphically represent finitely generated group elements and their relations; to name all vertices relative to a point; and the fact that they have a well-defined notion of…

In the following pages we discuss infinite sequences defined on a finite alphabet, and more specially those which are generated by finite automata. We have divided our paper into seven parts which are more or less self-contained. Needless…

The theory of abstract argumentation frameworks (afs) has, in the main, focused on finite structures, though there are many significant contexts where argumentation can be regarded as a process involving infinite objects. To address this…

Groups of finite type (also called finitely constrained groups), introduced by Grigorchuk, are known to be the closure of regular branch groups. This article explores many of their properties. Firstly, we prove that being finitely…

Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…

Every self-similar group acts on the space $X^\omega$ of infinite words over some alphabet $X$. We study the Schreier graphs $\Gamma_w$ for $w\in X^\omega$ of the action of self-similar groups generated by bounded automata on the space…

We prove that any finite system of interacted automata can not leave some finite arear of Calley graph of periodic group. If group has non-periodic element, then its Calley graph can be explored by some finite automata with 3 pebbles. If…

We study languages over infinite alphabets equipped with some structure that can be tested by recognizing automata. We develop a framework for studying such alphabets and the ensuing automata theory, where the key role is played by an…

In the 1980's Stallings showed that every finitely generated subgroup of a free group is canonically represented by a finite minimal immersion of a bouquet of circles. In terms of the theory of automata, this is a minimal finite inverse…

We investigate the orbits of automaton semigroups and groups to obtain algorithmic and structural results, both for general automata but also for some special subclasses. First, we show that a more general version of the finiteness problem…

We study the action of groups generated by bounded activity automata with infinite alphabets on their orbital Schreier graphs. We introduce an amenability criterion for such groups based on the recurrence of the first level action. This…

We devise an algorithm which, given a bounded automaton A, decides whether the group generated by A is finite. The solution comes from a description of the infinite sequences having an infinite A-orbit using a deterministic finite-state…
