upper bound for the exponential conjugacy growth rate for non-virtually nilpotent polycyclic groups
Given $n ≥ 0$, the conjugacy growth function $c(n)$ of a finitely generated group $G$, with respect to some finite generating set $S$, counts the number of conjugacy classes intersecting the ball of ...

The growth rate of the group $\mathbb{Z}[1/2] \rtimes _\phi \mathbb{Z}$, where $\phi (1)$ corresponds to multiplying every number by $2$
Consider the group $G = \mathbb{Z}[1/2] \rtimes _\phi \mathbb{Z}$, where $\mathbb{Z}[1/2] = \{j/2^m \mid j \in \mathbb{Z}, m\in\mathbb{N} \}$, the dyadic rationals, and for every $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $...

A "simpler" description of the automorphism group of the lamplighter group
I've copied over this question from what I asked on Mathematics Stack Exchange, in the hope that some experts can point me to some relevant references.
The lamplighter group is defined by the ...

the growth rate of poly-$\mathbb{Z}$ group
I am interested in the growth rate of the poly-$\mathbb{Z}$ group. Let $G$ be a poly-$\mathbb{Z}$ group, i.e $$G =(\dots((\mathbb{Z} \rtimes_{\phi_1} \mathbb{Z})\rtimes_{\phi_2} \mathbb{Z}) \rtimes_{\...

Does there exist a finitely generated, torsion group $G$ with a residually finite ascending HNN extension?
I've copied over this question from what I asked on Mathematics Stack Exchange, in the hope that some experts here can provide me some insight.
Let $G$ be a group with an injective endomorphism $\phi$...
