For every non-trivial finite abelian group $A$, we exhibit a bireversible automaton generating the lamplighter group $A \wr \mathbb{Z}$.

For any nontrivial abelian group $\mathbb{X}$ we construct a reversible (bireversible in case the order of $\mathbb{X}$ is odd) automaton such that its set of states and alphabet are identified with $\mathbb{X}$, transition and output…

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 construct a bireversible self-dual automaton with $3$ states over an alphabet with $3$ letters which generates the lamplighter group $\mathbb{Z}_3\wr\mathbb{Z}$.

Generalizing the idea of self-similar groups defined by Mealy automata, we itroduce the notion of a self-similar automaton and a self-similar group over a changing alphabet. We show that every finitely generated residually-finite group is…

We consider the two generalizations of lamplighter groups: automata groups generated by Cayley machine and cross-wired lamplighter groups. For a finite step two nilpotent group with central squares, we study its associated Cayley machine…

It is shown that certain ascending HNN extensions of free abelian groups of finite rank, as well as various lamplighter groups, can be realized as automaton groups, i.e., can be given a self-similar structure. This includes the solvable…

We are following [4]. Nevertheless we are interested only in claryfication that the lamplighter group can be realized as a 2--states Mealy machine.

We show presentations of automata groups generated by Cayley machines of finite groups of nilpotency class two and these automata groups are all cross-wired lamplighters.

A finitely generated group is said to be an automata group if it admits a faithful self-similar finite-state representation on some regular $m$-tree. We prove that if $G$ is a subgroup of an automata group, then for each finitely generated…

Let $A$ be a set and $f:A\rightarrow A$ a bijective function. Necessary and sufficient conditions on $f$ are determined which makes it possible to endow $A$ with a binary operation $*$ such that $(A,*)$ is a cyclic group and $f\in…

It is shown that any finite group $A$ is realizable as the automizer in a finite perfect group $G$ of an abelian subgroup whose conjugates generate $G$. The construction uses techniques from fusion systems on arbitrary finite groups, most…

In this paper, we classify the finite simple groups with an abelian Sylow subgroup.

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

We show that the Novikov-Shubin invariant of an element of the integral group ring of the lamplighter group Z_2 \wr Z can be irrational. This disproves a conjecture of Lott and Lueck. Furthermore we show that every positive real number is…

Brou\'e, Malle and Michel have shown that the automizer of an abelian Sylow p-subgroup in a finite simple Chevalley group is an irreducible complex reflection group, for p not too small and different from the defining characteristic. The…

We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…

The class of automaton groups is a rich source of the simplest examples of infinite Burnside groups. However, there are some classes of automata that do not contain such examples. For instance, all infinite Burnside automaton groups in the…

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…

We consider Turing machines as actions over configurations in $\Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ which only change them locally around a marked position that can move and carry a particular state. In this setting we study the monoid of Turing machines…
