Embedding properties of hereditarily just infinite profinite wreath products

Group Theory 2017-02-27 v2

Abstract

We study infinitely iterated wreath products of finite permutation groups with respect to product actions. In particular, we prove that, for every non-empty class of finite simple groups X\mathcal{X}, there exists a finitely generated hereditarily just infinite profinite group WW with composition factors in X\mathcal{X} such that any countably based profinite group with composition factors in X\mathcal{X} can be embedded into WW. Additionally we investigate when infinitely iterated wreath products of finite simple groups with respect to product actions are co-Hopfian or non-co-Hopfian.
