Abstract

We consider groups of automorphisms of rooted locally finite trees, and give conditions on its subgroups that imply that they are not elementary amenable. We give a unified proof for all known examples of non-elementary amenable groups that act on the trees: groups of intermediate growths and Basilica group. Moreover, we show that all finitely generated branch groups are not elementary amenable, which was conjectured by Grigorchuk.
