The degree of commutativity and lamplighter groups

Abstract

The degree of commutativity of a group [Formula: see text] measures the probability of choosing two elements in [Formula: see text] which commute. There are many results studying this for finite groups. In [Y. Antolín, A. Martino and E. Ventura, Degree of commutativity of infinite groups, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017) 479–485, MR 3577854], this was generalized to infinite groups. In this note, we compute the degree of commutativity for wreath products of the form [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is any finite group.
