On growth of generalized Grigorchuk's overgroups

Grigorchuk’s Overgroup Ĝ, is a branch group of intermediate growth. It contains the first Grigorchuk’s torsion group G of intermediate growth constructed in 1980, but also has elements of infinite order. Its growth is substantially greater than the growth of G. The group G, corresponding to the sequ...

Description
Summary:Grigorchuk’s Overgroup Ĝ, is a branch group of intermediate growth. It contains the first Grigorchuk’s torsion group G of intermediate growth constructed in 1980, but also has elements of infinite order. Its growth is substantially greater than the growth of G. The group G, corresponding to the sequence (012)∞ = 012012 . . ., is a member of the family {Gω|ω ∈ Ω = {0, 1, 2}ᴺ} consisting of groups of intermediate growth when sequence ω is not eventually constant. Following this construction, we define the family { Ĝω, ω ∈ Ω} of generalized overgroups. Then Ĝ = Ĝ (012)∞ and Gω is a subgroup of Ĝω for each ω ∈ Ω. We prove, if ω is eventually constant, then Ĝω is of polynomial growth and if ω is not eventually constant, then Ĝω is of intermediate growth.
