Abstract: | Let G be a group generated by a finite set A. An element g ∈ G is a strict dead end of depth k (with respect to A) if |g|>|ga 1|>|ga 1 a 2|>···>|ga 1 a 2… a k | for any a 1, a 2,…, a k ∈ A ±1 such that the word a 1 a 2… a k is freely irreducible. (Here |g| is the distance from g to the identity in the Cayley graph of G.) We show that in finitely generated free soluble groups of degree d ≥ 2 there exist strict dead elements of depth k = k(d), which grows exponentially with respect to d. |
