Polynomial growth harmonic functions on finitely generated abelian groups

Which Finitely Generated Abelian Groups Admit Equal Growth Functions?

We show that finitely generated Abelian groups admit equal growth functions with respect to symmetric generating sets if and only if they have the same rank and the torsion parts have the same parity. In contrast, finitely generated Abelian groups admit equal growth functions with respect to monoid generating sets if and only if they have same rank. Moreover, we show that the size of the torsio...

Finitely generated groups with polynomial index growth

We prove that a finitely generated soluble residually finite group has polynomial index growth if and only if it is a minimax group. We also show that if a finitely generated group with PIG is residually finite-soluble then it is a linear group. These results apply in particular to boundedly generated groups; they imply that every infinite BG residually finite group has an infinite linear quoti...

MATH 436 Notes: Finitely generated Abelian groups

Definition 1.1 (Direct Products). Let {Gα}α∈I be a collection of groups indexed by an index set I. We may form the Cartesian product ∏ α∈I Gα. The elements of this Cartesian product can be denoted by tuples (aα)α∈I . We refer to the entry aα as the αth component of this tuple. We define a multiplication on this Cartesian product componentwise, i.e., (aα) ⋆ (bα) = (aα ⋆α bα) where ⋆α is the grou...

Isoperimetric Functions of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups

We show that the isoperimetric function of a nitely generated nilpotent group of class c is bounded above by a polynomial of degree 2c.
