We study the Hopf property for wreath products of finitely generated groups, focusing on the case of an abelian base group. Our main result establishes a strong connection between this problem and Kaplansky's stable finiteness conjecture.…

We characterise the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes for wreath products of groups

We investigate the preservation of the properties of being finitely generated and finitely presented under both direct and wreath products of monoid acts. A monoid $M$ is said to preserve property $\mathcal{P}$ in direct products if, for…

We prove some general results about quasi-actions on trees and define Property (QFA), which is analogous to Serre's Property (FA), but in the coarse setting. This property is shown to hold for a class of groups, including $SL(n,\Z)$ for…

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…

We present a full description of the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of restricted permutational wreath products of groups. We also give partial results about the 2-dimensional homotopical invariant of such groups. These results may be…

A wreath product is a method to construct an association scheme from two association schemes. We determine the automorphism group of a wreath product. We show a known result that a wreath product is Schurian if and only if both components…

We introduce a finiteness property for braided fusion categories, describe a conjecture that would characterize categories possessing this, and verify the conjecture in a number of important cases. In particular we say a category has F if…

We characterize which permutational wreath products W^(X)\rtimes G are finitely presented. This occurs if and only if G and W are finitely presented, G acts on X with finitely generated stabilizers, and with finitely many orbits on the…

We construct the first example of a finitely generated group which has Serre's property (FA) (i.e., whenever it acts on a simplicial tree it fixes a vertex), but admits a fixed point-free action on an $\mathbb{R}$-tree with finite arc…

It is shown that membership in rational subsets of wreath products H \wr V with H a finite group and V a virtually free group is decidable. On the other hand, it is shown that there exists a fixed finitely generated submonoid in the wreath…

Invariable generation is a topic that has predominantly been studied for finite groups. In 2014, Kantor, Lubotzky, and Shalev produced extensive tools for investigating invariable generation for infinite groups. Since their paper, various…

Let $G$ be an irreducible imprimitive subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field. Any system of imprimitivity for $G$ can be refined to a nonrefinable system of imprimitivity, and we consider the question…

A permutation group is innately transitive if it has a transitive minimal normal subgroup, which is referred to as a plinth. We study the class of finite, innately transitive permutation groups that can be embedded into wreath products in…

Given a sequence of $(G_i)_{i \in \N}$ of finite transitive groups of degree $n_i$, let $W_\infty$ be the inverse limit of the iterated permutational wreath products of the first m groups. We prove that $W_\infty$ is (topologically)…

For a class of wreath-like product groups with property (T), we describe explicitly all the embeddings between their von Neumann algebras. This allows us to provide a continuum of ICC groups with property (T) whose von Neumann algebras are…

We present a new proof, which is independent of the finite simple group classification and applies also to infinite groups, that quasiprimitive permutation groups of simple diagonal type cannot be embedded into wreath products in product…

We prove that if a Cartesian product of alternating groups is topologically finitely generated, then it is the profinite completion of a finitely generated residually finite group. The same holds for Cartesian producs of other simple groups…

We define and study a notion of free wreath product with amalgamation for compact quantum groups. These objects were already introduced in the case of duals of discrete groups under the name "free wreath products of pairs" in a previous…

We study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a free product G of finite cyclic groups. We investigate the question in which cases Aut(G) has Serre's property FA. In the case of two or three free factors, we prove that Aut(G) does not have…
