Conjugator length of locally compact groups of Euclidean isometries (2507.01268v1)

Abstract: We consider locally compact subgroups $H$ of the full isometry group $\mathrm{Isom}(\mathbb{E}^n)$ of Euclidean $n$-space which respect the splitting into an orthogonal and a translation subgroup. We prove that the conjugator length function of such groups grows linearly. Our theorem applies, in particular, to the Lie group $\mathrm{Isom}(\mathbb{E}^n)$ itself but also to affine Coxeter groups and to split crystallographic groups.
