We introduce the notion of a braid group parametrized by a ring, which is defined by generators and relations and based on the geometric idea of painted braids. We show that the parametrized braid group is isomorphic to the semi-direct…

We give an explicit characterization for group extensions that correspond to elements of the symmetric cohomology $HS^2(G,A)$. We also give conditions for the map $HS^n(G,A)\to H^n(G,A)$ to be injective.

Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…

We present several multi-variable generating functions for a new pattern matching condition on the wreath product of the cyclic group and the symmetric group. Our new pattern matching condition requires that the underlying permutations…

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

Symmetric homology is an analog of cyclic homology in which the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. The foundations for the theory of symmetric homology of algebras are developed in the context of crossed simplicial groups using…

The characteristic map for the symmetric group is an isomorphism relating the representation theory of the symmetric group to symmetric functions. An analogous isomorphism is constructed for the symmetric space of symplectic forms over a…

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…

Normal subgroups and there properties for finite and infinite iterated wreath products $S_{n_1}\wr \ldots \wr S_{n_m}$, $n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ are founded. The special classes of normal subgroups and there orders are investigated. Special…

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…

Let $K$ be field of characteristic 2 and let $G$ be a finite non-abelian 2-group with the cyclic derived subgroup $G'$, and there exists a central element $z$ of order 2 in $Z(G) \backslash G'$. We prove that the unit group of the group…

A relation between certain irreducible character values of the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$ ($\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \wr S_n$) and the symmetric group $S_{2n}$ was proved by F. L\"ubeck and D. Prasad in 2021. Their proof is algebraic in…

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

A real representation $\pi$ of a finite group may be regarded as a homomorphism to an orthogonal group $\Or(V)$. For symmetric groups $S_n$, alternating groups $A_n$, and products $S_n \times S_{n'}$ of symmetric groups, we give criteria…

We consider the wreath product of two symmetric groups as a group of blocks permutations and we study its conjugacy classes. We give a polynomiality property for the structure coefficients of the center of the wreath product of symmetric…

For suitable subgroups of a finitely generated group, we define the intersection number of one subgroup with another subgroup and show that this number is symmetric. We also give an interpretation of this number.

Given a group $G$ and $n\geq 0$, let $W(G,n)$ be the associated iterated wreath product -- unrestricted when $G$ is infinite -- viewed as a permutation group on $G^n$. We prove that the normalizer of $W(G,n)$ in the symmetric group $S(G^n)$…

The symmetric group on a set acts transitively on its subsets of a given size. We define homomorphisms between the corresponding permutation modules, defined over a field of characteristic two, which generalize the boundary maps from…

The subgroup pattern of a finite group $G$ is the table of marks of $G$ together with a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of $G$. In this article we describe a collection of sequences realized by the subgroup…

Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…
