We prove that if a separable metrizable $X$ is a union of two disjoint 0-dimensional sets $E$, $F$, $E$ is absolutely $G_{\delta}$ and $F$ is absolutely $F_{\sigma\delta}$ then there is a closed embedding $h$ into the union of countable…

We adapt Safin's result on powers of sets in free groups to obtain Helfgott type growth in free products: if A is any finite subset of a free product of two arbitrary groups then either A is conjugate into one of the factors, or the size of…

We study the structure constants of the class algebra $R_Z(G_n)$ of the wreath products $G_n$ associated to an arbitrary finite group G with respect to the basis of conjugacy classes. We show that a suitable filtration on $R_Z(G_n)$ gives…

We prove that a self-similar free abelian group has finite rank. We apply the result to self-similar wreath products of abelian groups $G=BwrX$. We show that if $X$ is torsion-free, then $B$ is torsion of finite exponent. Furthemore, we…

Positive Dehn twist products for some elements of finite order in the mapping class group of a 2-dimensional closed, compact, oriented surface $\Sigma_g$, which are rotations of $\Sigma_g$ through $2\pi /p$, are presented. The homeomorphism…

We consider a class of semidirect products $G = \mathbb{R}^n \rtimes H$, with $H$ a suitably chosen abelian matrix group. The choice of $H$ ensures that there is a wavelet inversion formula, and we are looking for criteria to decide under…

Let G be a group acting cocompactly without inversion on a tree X, with all vertex and edge stabilizers isomorphic to the same free abelian group Z^n. We prove that G has the Haagerup Property if and only if G is weakly amenable, and we…

We investigate how coarse embeddability of box spaces into Hilbert space behaves under group extensions. In particular, we prove a result which implies that a semidirect product of a finitely generated free group by a finitely generated…

In this short note we confirm a conjecture of James Wiegold. We prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group and $|G'|>p^{n(n-1)/2}$ for some non-negative integer $n$, then the group $G$ can be generated by the elements of breadth at least $n$.…

Let $H$ be a hereditary artin algebra of finite representation type. We first determine all hammocks in the Auslander-Reiten quiver $\GaH$ of $\mmod H$, the category of finitely generated left $H$-modules. This enables us to obtain an…

We consider the finitely generated groups acting on a regular tree with almost prescribed local action. We show that these groups embed as cocompact irreducible lattices in some locally compact wreath products. This provides examples of…

A finitely generated group is said to be an automata group if it admits a faithful self-similar finite-state representation on some regular $m$-tree. We prove that if $G$ is a subgroup of an automata group, then for each finitely generated…

We show that the wreath product of two finite symmetric or alternating groups is 2-generated.

For a finite group G one may consider the associated tower S_n[G] of wreath product groups. Zelevinsky associates to such a tower a positive self-adjoint Hopf algebra (PSH-algebra) R(G) as the infinite direct sum of the Grothendieck groups…

We consider wreath product decompositions for semigroups of triangular matrices. We exhibit an explicit wreath product decomposition for the semigroup of all n-by-n upper triangular matrices over a given field k, in terms of aperiodic…

Given a tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we may form the wreath product category $\mathcal{W}_n(\mathcal{C})$. It was shown in \cite{Ryba} that the Grothendieck rings of these wreath…

We introduce a new construction of matrix wreath products of algebras that is similar to wreath products of groups. We then use it to prove embedding theorems for Jacobson radical, nil, and primitive algebras. In \S\ref{Section6}, we…

To each finitely generated group $G$, we associate a quasi-isometric invariant called the \emph{Dehn spectrum} of $G$. If $G$ is finitely presented, our invariant is closely related to the Dehn function of $G$, but provides more information…

Let $G$ be a wreath product of the form $C_2 \wr H$, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order 2. Under mild conditions for $H$ we determine the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions for number fields $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ and…

In this paper we find the fusion rules of the free wreath products $\widehat{\Gamma}\wr_*S_N^+$ for any (discrete) group $\Gamma$. To do this we describe the spaces of intertwiners between basic corepresentations which allows us to identify…
