Dimension and randomness in groups acting on rooted trees by Miklós Abért ∗ and

چکیده
We explore the structure of the p-adic automorphism group Γ of the infinite rooted regular tree. We determine the asymptotic order of a typical element, answering an old question of Turán. We initiate the study of a general dimension theory of groups acting on rooted trees. We describe the relationship between dimension and other properties of groups such as solvability, existence of dense free subgroups and the normal subgroup structure. We show that subgroups of Γ generated by three random elements are full-dimensional and that there exist finitely generated subgroups of arbitrary dimension. Specifically, our results solve an open problem of Shalev and answer a question of Sidki.

متن کامل2 5 Fe b 20 07 Generic groups acting on regular trees
Let T be a k-regular tree (k ≥ 3) and A = Aut(T) its automorphism group. We analyze a generic finitely generated subgroup Γ of A. We show that Γ is free and establish a trichotomy on the closure Γ of Γ in A. It turns out that Γ is either discrete, compact or has index at most 2 in A.
