Groups acting on trees (20E08) Generators, relations, and presentations of groups (20F05) Geometric group theory (20F65) Means on groups, semigroups, etc.; amenable groups (43A07) Word problems, other decision problems, connections with logic and automata (group-theoretic aspects) (20F10)

Abstract: We consider groups of automorphisms of locally finite trees, and give conditions on its subgroups that imply that they are not elementary amenable. This covers all known examples of groups that are not elementary amenable and act on the trees: groups of intermediate growths and Basilica group, by giving a more straightforward proof. Moreover, we deduce that all finitely generated branch groups are not elementary amenable, which was conjectured by Grigorchuk.
