Martin R. Bridson, Timothy R. Riley

TL;DR
This paper constructs finitely presented groups with conjugator length functions that grow exponentially and even faster, reaching the levels of the Grzegorczyk hierarchy, revealing new growth behaviors in group theory.
Contribution
It provides the first examples of finitely presented groups with conjugator length functions exhibiting exponential and super-exponential growth rates.
Findings
Constructed groups with exponential conjugator length functions.
Developed a family of groups with conjugator length growth matching Grzegorczyk hierarchy levels.
Demonstrated the diversity of growth behaviors in finitely presented groups.
Abstract
We construct the first examples of finitely presented groups where the conjugator length function is exponential; these are central extensions of groups of the form . Further, we use a fibre product construction to exhibit a family of finitely presented groups where, for each , the conjugator length function of grows like functions in the -th level of the Grzegorczyk hierarchy of primitive recursive functions.
