摘要
In this paper, we study distortion of various well-known embeddings of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups G into unitriangular groups UTn(Z). In particular, we show that there is no undistorted embeddings of 5-dimensional Heisenberg group into UTn(Z). We also provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding distortion of a given subgroup of G.
