BRANCH GROUPS, ORBIT GROWTH, AND SUBGROUP GROWTH TYPES FOR PRO-
$p$ GROUPS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2020
Abstract
In their book Subgroup Growth, Lubotzky and Segal asked: What are the possible types of subgroup growth of the pro-$p$ group? In this paper, we construct certain extensions of the Grigorchuk group and the Gupta–Sidki groups, which have all possible types of subgroup growth between
$n^{(\log n)^{2}}$ and
$e^{n}$. Thus, we give an almost complete answer to Lubotzky and Segal’s question. In addition, we show that a class of pro-
$p$ branch groups, including the Grigorchuk group and the Gupta–Sidki groups, all have subgroup growth type
$n^{\log n}$.
