For a restricted wreath product $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group, we determine (almost in all cases) whether this product has the $R_\infty$ property (i.e., each its automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number).

Ezra Getzler notes in the proof of the main theorem of "The semi-classical approximation for modular operads" that "A proof of the theorem could no doubt be given using [a combinatorial interpretation in terms of a sum over necklaces];…

This paper is motivated by several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $C_n$. Addressing a question of David Vogan, it was shown in an earlier paper that these permutation representations are essentialy…

In this paper, we showed how a group acting regularly and a diagonal group are embedded into the wreath products in there product action using the Cartesian Decomposition.

We develop general methods to compute the algebraic $K$-theory of crossed products by Bernoulli shifts on additive categories. From this we obtain a $K$-theory formula for regular group rings associated to wreath products of finite groups…

We give a new proof for the Littlewood-Richardson rule for the wreath product $F \wr S_{n}$ where $F$ is a finite group. Our proof does not use symmetric functions but more elementary representation theoretic tools. We also derive a…

Let $G_{1}$, $G_{2}$, ... be a sequence of groups each of which is either an alternating group, a symmetric group or a cyclic group and construct a sequence $(W_{i})$ of wreath products via $W_{1} = G_{1}$ and, for each $i \geq 1$, $W_{i+1}…

We present several multi-variable generating functions for a new pattern matching condition on the wreath product of the cyclic group and the symmetric group. Our new pattern matching condition requires that the underlying permutations…

Let $r$ be a positive integer and let $G_n$ be the reflection group of $n \times n$ monomial matrices whose entries are $r^{th}$ complex roots of unity and let $k \leq n$. We define and study two new graded quotients $R_{n,k}$ and $S_{n,k}$…

Wreath products such as Z wr Z are not finitely-presentable yet can occur as subgroups of finitely presented groups. Here we compute the distortion of Z wr Z as a subgroup of Thompson's group F and as a subgroup of Baumslag's metabelian…

The product of smooth valuations on manifolds is described in terms of differential forms, Gelfand transforms and blow-up spaces. It is shown that the product extends partially to generalized valuations and corresponds geometrically to…

We develop a new approach on free wreath products, generalizing the constructions of Bichon and of Fima-Pittau. We show stability properties for certain approximation properties such as exactness, Haagerup property, hyperlinearity and…

A kind of generalized Gelfand pair is introduced via a Banach algebra consisting of bi-invariant functions in a weighted Lebesgue space. The related spherical functions and the Fourier transformation are constructed. The multipliers of the…

We introduce a new matrix product, that we call the wreath product of matrices. The name is inspired by the analogous product for graphs, and the following important correspondence is proven: the wreath product of the adjacency matrices of…

We prove a Littlewood-Richardson type formula for $(s_{\lambda/\mu},s_{\nu/\kappa})_{t^k,t}$, the pairing of two skew Schur functions in the MacDonald inner product at $q = t^k$ for positive integers $k$. This pairing counts graded…

For an arbitrary commutative ring k and t in k, we construct a 2-functor S_t which sends a tensor category to a new tensor category. By applying it to the representation category of a bialgebra we obtain a family of categories which…

If $\textbf{S}$ is a subcategory of metric spaces, we say that a group G has property $B\textbf{S}$ if any isometric action on an $\textbf{S}$-space has bounded orbits. Examples of such subcategories include metric spaces, affine real…

Let X be a compact almost complex manifold with an action of a finite group G. We compute the algebra of G^n coinvariants of the stringy cohomology (math.AG/0104207) of X^n with an action of a wreath product of G. We show that it is…

The article is concerned with the Foulkes characters of wreath products, which are block characters of wreath products, i.e., the positive-definite class functions depending only on the length of its elements. Inspired by the works of…
