Nonstandard Cayley automatic representations of fundamental groups

Abstract: We construct a new family of Cayley automatic representations of semidirect products $\mathbb{Z}^n \rtimes_A \mathbb{Z}$ for which none of the projections of the normal subgroup $\mathbb{Z}^n$ onto each of its cyclic components is finite automaton recognizable. For $n=2$ we describe a family of matrices from $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ corresponding to these representations. We are motivated by a problem of characterization of all possible Cayley automatic representations of these groups.
