Abstract

For any nontrivial abelian group X\mathbb{X} we construct a reversible (bireversible in case the order of X\mathbb{X} is odd) automaton such that its set of states and alphabet are identified with X\mathbb{X}, transition and output functions are defined via the left and the right regular actions correspondingly and its group splits into the restricted wreath product XZ\mathbb{X} \wr \mathbb{Z}, i.e. is a lamplighter group.
