Homology growth of polynomially growing mapping tori

Abstract

We prove that residually finite mapping tori of polynomially growing automorphisms of hyperbolic groups, groups hyperbolic relative to finitely many virtually polycyclic groups, right-angled Artin groups (when the automorphism is untwisted), and right-angled Coxeter groups have the cheap rebuilding property of Abert, Bergeron, Fraczyk, and Gaboriau. In particular, their torsion homology growth vanishes for every Farber sequence in every degree.
