Abstract: We study the minimal possible growth of harmonic functions on lamplighters. We find that $(mathbbZ/2)wrmathbbZ$ has no sublinear harmonic functions, $(mathbbZ/2)wrmathbb{Z}^2$ has no sublogarithmic harmonic functions, and neither has the repeated wreath product $(dotsb(mathbbZ/2wrmathbb{Z}^2)wrmathbb{Z}^2)wrdotsbwrmathbb{Z}^2$. These results have implications on attempts to quantify the Derriennic-Kaimanovich-Vershik theorem.
