Abstract

We show that if a group contains [Formula: see text] as a finite-index subgroup, then its cogrowth series is the diagonal of a rational function for every generating set. This answers a question of Pak and Soukup on the cogrowth of virtually abelian groups; and generalizes a result by Elder, Rechnitzer, Janse van Rensburg, and Wong on the cogrowth series of the Baumslag–Solitar groups [Formula: see text].
