Abstract

We realize lamplighter groups , with a finite abelian group, as automaton groups via affine transformations of power series rings with coefficients in a finite commutative ring. Our methods can realize as a bireversible automaton group if and only if the 2-Sylow subgroup of has no multiplicity one summands in its expression as a direct sum of cyclic groups of order a power of 2.
