On the Lp-distortion of finite quotients of amenable groups

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study the Lp-distortion of finite quotients of amenable groups. In particular, for every 2 ≤ p < ∞, we prove that the ℓp-distortions of the groups C2 Cn and C2n ⋊ are in Θ((log n)1/p), and that the ℓp-distortion of Cn2A Z, where A is the matrix, is in Θ ((log log n)1/p.
