A virtually nilpotent group whose Green series is not D-finite

Abstract

We provide the first example of virtually nilpotent group, with a specific generating set, for which the Green series (sometimes called cogrowth series) is not D-finite. The proof relies on an arithmetical miracle, and the study of the subword complexity of a multiplicative sequence coming out of it.
