We consider bicrossed products obtained by twisting compact semi-direct products by a suitable finite subgroup. Under some restriction, we give a practical criterion for the discrete dual of such bicrossed products to have the rapid decay…
For locally compact groups amenability and Kazhdan's property (T) are mutually exclusive in the sense that a group having both properties is compact. This is no longer true for more general Polish groups. However, a weaker result still…
A Gelafand model for wreath products $\Z_r\wr S_n$ is constructed. The proof relies on a combinatorial interpretation of the characters of the model, extending a classical result of Frobenius and Schur.
In the present paper, we give a certain condition on subgroups of the group representation of the Cayley tree such that an invariance property holds. Except for the given condition, we show that the invariance property does not hold.
We show that taking the wreath product of a quasi-hereditary algebra with symmetric group inherits several homological properties of the original algebra, namely BGG duality, standard Koszulity, balancedness as well as a condition which…
We study right exact tensor products on the category of finitely presented functors. As our main technical tool, we use a multilinear version of the universal property of so-called Freyd categories. Furthermore, we compare our constructions…
A permutation group is innately transitive if it has a transitive minimal normal subgroup, and this subgroup is called a plinth. In this paper we study three special types of inclusions of innately transitive permutation groups in wreath…
In this paper we prove that the Diophantine problem in iterated restricted wreath products $G$ of arbitrary non-trivial free abelian groups $A_1,\ldots, A_k$, $k>1$ of finite ranks is undecidable, i.e., there is no algorithm that given a…
A group $G$ is said to have property (PH') if there exist finitely many hyperbolic spaces $X_1,\cdots,X_n$ on which $G$ acts coboundedly such that the diagonal action of $G$ on the product $\prod_{i=1}^nX_i$ equipped with $\ell^1$-metric is…
We consider the group $\mathfrak{X}(G)$ obtained from $G\ast G$ by forcing each element $g$ in the first free factor to commute with the copy of $g$ in the second free factor. Deceptively complicated finitely presented groups arise from…
We study arithmetic properties of factorizations of elements into products of generators, in monoids given with explicit presentations. After relating and comparing this perspective to the more usual approach of factoring into products of…
It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $P$ extends naturally to the subsets of $P$. We study transitive subsets of the wreath product $G \wr S_n$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group. This includes the…
We study the structure of the category of representations of $\mathbf{FA}$, the category of finite sets and all maps, mostly working over a field of characteristic zero. This category is not semi-simple and exhibits interesting features. We…
Automatic presentations, also called FA-presentations, were introduced to extend finite model theory to infinite structures whilst retaining the solubility of fundamental decision problems. A particular focus of research has been the…
Starting with an integral domain $D$ of characteristic $0$, we consider a class of iterated wreath product $W_n$ of $n$ copies of $D$. In order that $W_n$ be transfinite hypercentral, it is necessary to restrict to the case of wreath…
In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include…
Using fiber products, we construct bi-orderable groups from left-orderable groups. As an application, we show that bi-orderability is not a profinite property, answering a question of Piwek and Wykowski negatively. We also show that 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 introduce and study the definition, main properties and applications of iterated twisted tensor products of algebras, motivated by the problem of defining a suitable representative for the product of spaces in noncommutative geometry. We…
We show that the unrestricted wreath product of a sofic group by an amenable group is sofic. We use this result to present an alternative proof of the known fact that any group extension with sofic kernel and amenable quotient is again a…
