More generally, for any finite group $D$ and $n\\geq|D|$, we obtain the exact value of $\\mathrm{F{\\o}l}(n)$ on the wreath product $\\mathbb{Z}\\wr D$, for a generating set induced by a generator on $\\mathbb{Z}$ and the entire group being taken as generators for $D$. We also describe the F{\\o}lner sets that give rise to it. F{\\o}lner functions encode the isoperimetric properties of amenable groups and have previously been studied up to asymptotic equivalence (that is to say, independently of the choice of finite generating set). What is more, we prove an isoperimetric result concerning the edge boundary on the Baumslag-Solitar group $BS(1,2)$ for the standard generating set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-12-26T12:33:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20E22" ], "keywords": [ "baumslag-solitar group", "wreath product", "exact descriptions", "følner functions", "standard generating set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
