We consider the finitely generated groups acting on a regular tree with almost prescribed local action. We show that these groups embed as cocompact irreducible lattices in some locally compact wreath products. This provides examples of…
In this paper we introduce a way to estimate a level of closeness of Cayley automatic groups to the class of automatic groups using a certain numerical characteristic. We characterize Cayley automatic groups which are not automatic in terms…
It is shown that membership in rational subsets of wreath products H \wr V with H a finite group and V a virtually free group is decidable. On the other hand, it is shown that there exists a fixed finitely generated submonoid in the wreath…
In contrast to being automatic, being Cayley automatic \emph{a priori} has no geometric consequences. Specifically, Cayley graphs of automatic groups enjoy a fellow traveler property. Here we study a distance function introduced by the…
In this paper, we elaborate ring theoretic properties of nodal orders. In particular, we prove that they are closed under taking crossed products with finite groups.
A permutation class which is closed under pattern involvement may be described in terms of its basis. The wreath product construction X \wr Y of two permutation classes X and Y is also closed, and we investigate classes Y with the property…
The main result of this paper is that the outer automorphism group of a free product of finite groups and cyclic groups is semistable at infinity (provided it is one ended) or semistable at each end. In a previous paper, we showed that the…
Autostackability for finitely presented groups is a topological property of the Cayley graph combined with formal language theoretic restrictions, that implies solvability of the word problem. The class of autostackable groups is known to…
We explore the geometry of the Cayley graphs of the lamplighter groups and a wide range of wreath products. We show that these groups have dead end elements of arbitrary depth with respect to their natural generating sets. An element $w$ in…
We prove that if a subgroup $H$ of the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}})$ of a non-trivial full shift acts on points of finite support with a free orbit, then for every finitely-generated abelian group $A$, the abstract…
Given a morphism $\varphi : G \to A \wr B$ from a finitely presented group $G$ to a wreath product $A \wr B$, we show that, if the image of $\varphi$ is a sufficiently large subgroup, then $\mathrm{ker}(\varphi)$ contains a non-abelian free…
Let $K$ be field of characteristic 2 and let $G$ be a finite non-abelian 2-group with the cyclic derived subgroup $G'$, and there exists a central element $z$ of order 2 in $Z(G) \backslash G'$. We prove that the unit group of the group…
A graph is called a GRR if its automorphism group acts regularly on its vertex-set. Such a graph is necessarily a Cayley graph. Godsil has shown that there are only two infinite families of finite groups that do not admit GRRs : abelian…
In this paper we characterize when a Cayley automaton semigroup is a group, is trivial, is finite, is free, is a left zero semigroup, or is a right zero semigroup.
In this paper we address the problem of quantitative classification of Cayley automatic groups in terms of a certain numerical characteristic which we earlier introduced for this class of groups. For this numerical characteristic we…
Let $S(\infty)$ denote the infinite symmetric group formed by the finitary permutations of the set of natural numbers; this is a countable group. We introduce its virtual group algebra, a completion of the conventional group algebra…
We find a condition on the acylindrical action of a finitely presented group on a simplicial tree which guarantees that this action will be dominated by an acylindrical action with finitely generated edge stabilisers, and find the first…
Wreath products of non-discrete locally compact groups are usually not locally compact groups, nor even topological groups. We introduce a natural extension of the wreath product construction to the setting of locally compact groups. As an…
Witte Morris showed in [21] that every connected Cayley graph of a finite (generalized) dihedral group has a Hamiltonian path. The infinite dihedral group is defined as the free product with amalgamation $\mathbb Z_2 \ast \mathbb Z_2$. We…
We investigate closure results for C-approximable groups, for certain classes C of groups with invariant length functions. In particular we prove, each time for certain (but not necessarily the same) classes C that (i) the direct product of…
