On (bi)reversible automata generating lamplighter groups

Abstract

For any nontrivial abelian group $\mathbb{X}$ we construct a reversible (bireversible in case the order of $\mathbb{X}$ is odd) automaton such that its set of states and alphabet are identified with $\mathbb{X}$, transition and output functions are defined via the left and the right regular actions correspondingly and its group splits into the restricted wreath product $\mathbb{X}\wr \mathbb{Z}$, i.e. is a lamplighter group.
