Residual dimension of nilpotent groups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The functions FG(n) measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group G. In previous work cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for FN(n) when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. However, a counterexample to the above claim was communicated to the author, and subsequently, the statement of the asymptotic characterization of FN(n) is incorrect. In this article, we introduce new tools to provide lower asymptotic bounds for FN(n) when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. Moreover, we introduce a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups for which the upper bound of cite{Pengitore_1} can be improved. Finally, we construct of a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups N for which the asymptotic behavior of FN(n) can be fully characterized.
