In this paper we completely classify irreducible tensor products of covering groups of symmetric and alternating groups in characteristic $\not=2$.

An action of a group on a set is oligomorphic if it has finitely many orbits of $n$-element subsets for all $n$. We prove that for a large class of groups (including all groups of finite virtual cohomological dimension and all countable…

In the previous paper, we proposed a practical method of constructing explicitly representation groups $R(G)$ for finite groups $G$, and apply it to certain typical finite groups $G$ with Schur multiplier $M(G)$ containing prime number 3.…

We classify the finite groups whose non-linear irreducible characters that are not conjugate under the natural Galois action have distinct degrees, therefore extending the results in Berkovich et al. [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. {\bf 115}…

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 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…

The paper investigates the stability properties of restrictions of irreducible representations of the symmetric group to the hyperoctahedral subgroup. A stability result is obtained, analogous to the classical Murnaghan theorem on the…

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for when graph wreath products are residually finite, generalising known results for the permutational wreath product and free product cases.

In this paper, we give the decomposition into irreducible characters of the restriction to the wreath product $\mathbb{Z}_{p-1} \wr \mathfrak{S}_w$ of any irreducible character of $(\mathbb{Z}_p \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_{p-1}) \wr…

Let G be a finite subgroup of SL(2,C). Let S_N#G^N be the wreath product of G by the symmetric group of degree N, acting symplectically on a complex vector space V of dimension 2N, with symplectic basis {x_i, y_i} i=1,...,N. In this paper…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a sequence of finite perfect transitive permutation groups with uniformly bounded number of generators. We prove that the infinitely iterated wreath product in product action of the groups in $\mathcal{S}$ is…

Given sofic approximations for countable, discrete groups $G,H$, we construct a sofic approximation for their wreath product $G\wr H$.

In this manuscript, we give a classification of all irreducible, unitary representations of complex spin groups.

We prove that the wreath product orbifolds studied earlier by the first author provide a large class of higher dimensional examples of orbifolds whose orbifold Hodge numbers coincide with the ordinary ones of suitable resolutions of…

We determine the fields of values of the Isaacs' head characters of a finite solvable group.

The diagonalisation of the transfer matrices of solvable vertex models with alternating spins is given. The crystal structure of (semi-)infinite tensor products of finite-dimensional $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$ crystals with alternating dimensions is…

For a finite group $G$ with integer-valued character table and a prime $p$, we show that almost every entry in the character table of $G \wr S_N$ is divisible by $p$ as $N \to \infty$. This result generalizes the work of Peluse and…

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…

We study semantic and syntactic properties of spherical orders and their elementary theories, including finite and dense orders and their theories. It is shown that theories of dense $n$-spherical orders are countably categorical and…
