We show that there are hereditarily just infinite groups of any subgroup growth type between $n$ and $n^{\log n}$. This is obtained calculating the subgroup growth type of a family of hereditarily just infinite profinite groups obtained via…

We study a family of hereditarily just infinite profinite groups obtained by iterated wreath products introduced by J. Wilson in 2010. We find explicit generators for this family in a number of cases using combinatorial methods. We then…

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…

Let $(G_n,X_n)$ be a sequence of finite transitive permutation groups with uniformly bounded number of generators. We prove that the infinitely iterated permutational wreath product $...\wr G_2\wr G_1$ is topologically finitely generated if…

We study a generalisation of the family of non-(virtually pro-$p$) hereditarily just infinite profinite groups introduced by J.\! S.\! Wilson in 2010. We prove that this family contains groups of finite lower rank. We also show that many…

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…

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 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 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.…

Finitely generated (non-abelian) free metabelian pro-p groups, and wreath products of f.g. free abelian pro-p groups, are all finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.

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…

We characterize permutational wreath products with Property (FA). For instance, the standard wreath product A wr B of two nontrivial countable groups A,B, has Property (FA) if and only if B has Property (FA) and A is a finitely generated…

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)…

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

To a finite group G one can associate a tower of wreath products S_n[G]. It is well known that the graded direct sum of the Grothendieck groups of the categories of finite dimensional complex representations of these groups can be given the…

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…

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…

The group property FW stands in-between the celebrated Kazdhan's property (T) and Serre's property FA. Among many characterizations, it might be defined, for finitely generated groups, as having all Schreier graphs one-ended. It follows…

We exhibit two finitely generated residually finite groups $G$ and $H$ with isomorphic profinite completions $\widehat{G} \cong \widehat{H}$, such that $G$ is co-Hopfian while $H$ is not. The construction utilizes Wise's residually finite…
