On self-similarity of p-adic analytic pro-p groups of small dimension

Abstract: Given a torsion-free

p

-adic analytic pro-

p

group

G

with

m a t h r m d i m (G) < p

, we show that the self-similar actions of

G

on regular rooted trees can be studied through the virtual endomorphisms of the associated

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-Lie lattice. We explicitly classify 3-dimensional unsolvable

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-Lie lattices for

p

odd, and study their virtual endomorphisms. Together with Lazard's correspondence, this allows us to classify 3-dimensional unsolvable torsion-free

p

-adic analytic pro-

p

groups for

p g e q s l a n t 5

, and to determine which of them admit a faithful self-similar action on a

p

-ary tree. In particular, we show that no open subgroup of

S L_{1}^{1} (D e l t a_{p})

admits such an action. On the other hand, we prove that all the open subgroups of

S L_{2}^{r i a n g l e} (m a t h b b Z_{p})

admit faithful self-similar actions on regular rooted trees.
