Beauville structures for quotients of generalised GGS-groups

Abstract

A finite group with a Beauville structure gives rise to a certain compact complex surface called a Beauville surface. Gül and Uria-Albizuri showed that quotients of the periodic Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki (GGS-)groups that act on the $p$-adic tree, for $p$ an odd prime, admit Beauville structures. We extend their result by showing that quotients of infinite periodic GGS-groups acting on $p^n$-adic trees, for $p$ any prime and $n\ge 2$, also admit Beauville structures.
