On state-closed representations of restricted wreath product of groups G_p,d=C_pwrC^d

Publication date 28 February 2018

Abstract: Let

G_{p, d}

be the restricted wreath product

C_{p} w r C^{d}

where

C_{p}

is a cyclic group of order a prime

p

and

C^{d}

a free abelian group of finite rank

d

. We study the existence of faithful state-closed (fsc) representations of

G_{p, d}

on the

1

-rooted

m

-ary tree for some finite

m

. The group

G_{2, 1}

, known as the lamplighter group, admits an fsc representation on the binary tree. We prove that for

d g e q 2

there are no fsc representations of

G_{p, d}

on the

p

-adic tree. We characterize all fsc representations of

G = G_{p, 1}

on the

p

-adic tree where the first level stabilizer of the image of

G

contains its commutator subgroup. Furthermore, for

d g e q 2

, we construct uniformly fsc representations of

G_{p, d}

on the

p^{2}

-adic tree and exhibit concretely the representation of

G_{2, 2}

on the

4

-tree as a finite-state automaton group.
