On self-similarity of wreath products of abelian groups
  We prove that a self-similar free abelian group has finite rank. We apply the result to self-similar wreath products of abelian groups $G=BwrX$. We show that if $X$ is torsion-free, then $B$ is torsion of finite exponent. Furthemore, we construct a self-similar group $G=BwrC_{2}$ where $B$ is free abelian of infinite rank.
