On the normalizer of an iterated wreath product

Group Theory 2023-08-23 v4

Abstract

Given a group GG and n0n\geq 0, let W(G,n)W(G,n) be the associated iterated wreath product -- unrestricted when GG is infinite -- viewed as a permutation group on GnG^n. We prove that the normalizer of W(G,n)W(G,n) in the symmetric group S(Gn)S(G^n) is equal to MnW(G,n)M_n\ltimes W(G,n), where MnM_n is isomorphic to~Aut(G)n\mathrm{Aut}(G)^n. The action of Aut(G)n\mathrm{Aut}(G)^n on W(G,n)W(G,n) is recursively described.
