Phase transitions in infinitely generated groups, and related problems in additive number theory

Nathanson, Melvyn B.

Original · EN

Let A be an infinite set of generators for a group G, and let Lₐ(r) denote the number of elements of G whose word length with respect to A is exactly r. The purpose of this note is to determine all growth functions Lₐ(r) associated to infinite generating sets for groups, and to describe a phase transition phenomenon associated with infinite generating sets. A list of open problems is also.included.
