✦ Synopsis

We investigate word growth and structure of certain infinite families of finite groups. This work is motivated by results of Bass, Wolf, Milnor, Gromov, and Grigorchuk on the word growth and structure of infinite groups. We define word growth for families of finite groups, and prove structure theorems relating their growth types to their group structures. Some results are analogous to the infinite cases. However, differences are also noted, as well as other results.

We show that certain properties of groups of automorphisms can be read off from the actions they induce on the finite characteristic quotients of their underlying group G. In particular, we obtain criteria for groups of automorphisms of a Ε½ . residually finite and soluble minimax -by-finite group G

We show that the isometry dimension of a finite group G is equal to the dimension of a minimal-dimensional faithful real representation of G. Using this result, we answer several questions of Albertson and Boutin [J. Algebra 225 (2000), 947-955 .
