Abstract

We prove an analog of Aldous' spectral gap conjecture in the generalized symmetric groups GSnG\wr S_n where GG is an arbitrary finite group. Moreover, we show that Caputo's extension of the conjecture to hypergraphs transfers to these groups whenever it holds in the ordinary symmetric group.
