Relative subgroup growth and subgroup distortion

Abstract: We study the relative growth of finitely generated subgroups in finitely generated groups, and the corresponding distortion function of the embeddings. We explore which functions are equivalent to the relative growth functions and distortion functions of finitely generted subgroups. We also study the connections between these two asymptotic invariants of group embeddings. We give conditions under which a length function on a finitely generated group can be extended to a length function on a larger group.

“…If K and N have subrecursive Følner functions and the distortion function ∆ Γ N (n) := max{|ω| Y : ω ∈ N, |ω| X ≤ n} is subrecursive, then Γ has subrecursive Følner function; if N has computable Følner sets, K is amenable with solvable word problem and ∆ Γ N is subrecursive then Γ has computable Følner sets. Notice that it is possible that ∆ Γ N is not subrecursive, see for example [1], even for solvable groups, see [6]. Again we don't know if these hypotheses are necessary.…”

“…The geodesic distance in a wreath product has been especially studied for Cayley graphs by the investigation of the Word length for wreath products of finite and infinite groups [7,10,23]. In any approach it appears an NP-hard problem: the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP).…”

“…In the corollary below we give a complete description of ordinals that can be realized as elementary classes of countable elementary amenable groups. Yet another application of our main result will be given in the forthcoming joint paper [8] by Tara Davis and the first author: Every super-additive function N ∪ {0} → N ∪ {0} can be realized (up to equivalence) as the distortion function of a cyclic subgroup in a finitely generated solvable group. (For definitions and background see Gromov's paper [12]).…”
