The profinite completion of multi-EGS groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The class of multi-EGS groups is a generalisation of the well-known Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki (GGS-)groups. Here we classify branch multi-EGS groups with the congruence subgroup property and determine the profinite completion of all branch multi-EGS groups. Additionally our results show that branch multi-EGS groups are just infinite.


In this paper, the authors consider the class of multi-EGS groups that generalize the famous Grigorchuk groups and Gupta-Sidki groups acting on rooted trees. A group \(G\) acting on a rooted tree has the congruence subgroup property if every finite index subgroup of \(G\) contains some level stabilizer. The authors of this paper classify the multi-EGS groups which have the congruence subgroup property. Further, they determine the profinite completion of a multi-EGS group without the congruence subgroup property as a subgroup of automorphism group of the tree \(T\) on which it acts. Finally the authors prove that if \(G\) is a branch multi-EGS group acting on a tree \(T\) then the normalizer \(N_{\mathrm{Aut}(T)}(G)=\mathrm{Aut}(G)\).
