Abstract: A BMW group of degree $(m,n)$ is a group that acts simply transitively on vertices of the product of two regular trees of degrees $m$ and $n$. We show that the number of commensurability classes of BMW groups of degree $(m,n)$ is bounded between $(mn{)}^{alphamn}$ and $$ for some $$. In fact, we show that the same bounds hold for virtually simple BMW groups. We introduce a random model for BMW groups of degree $(m,n)$ and show that asymptotically almost surely a random BMW group in this model is irreducible and hereditarily just-infinite.

Summary: A BMW group of degree \((m,n)\) is a group that acts simply transitively on vertices of the product of two regular trees of degrees \(m\) and \(n\). We show that the number of commensurability classes of BMW groups of degree \((m,n)\) is bounded between \((mn)^{\alpha mn}\) and \((mn)^{\beta mn}\) for some \(0< \alpha < \beta\). In fact, we show that the same bounds hold for virtually simple BMW groups. We introduce a random model for BMW groups of degree \((m,n)\) and show that asymptotically almost surely a random BMW group in this model is irreducible and hereditarily just-infinite.
