In this paper we will give various examples of exponentially distorted subgroups in linear groups, including some new example of subgroups of $SL_n(\mathbb{Z}[x])$ for $n \ge 3$, and show how they can be used to construct symmetric-key…
In [BV12] we have proven that, for all hyperbolic groups and for all non-trivial free products $\Gamma$, the left-right wreath product group $G:=(Z/2Z)^{(\Gamma)} \rtimes (\Gamma \times \Gamma)$ is W$^*$-superrigid. In this paper, we extend…
We consider the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle. We show that any recurrent $f$ (in the sense that $\{f^n\}_{n \in Z}$ is not discrete) is in fact a distortion element (in the sense that its iterates can be written as short…
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…
In this paper, we showed how a group acting regularly and a diagonal group are embedded into the wreath products in there product action using the Cartesian Decomposition.
In this note, we consider a 'thrifty' version of Kaluzhnin - Krasner's embedding in wreath products and apply it to extensions by finite groups and to metabelian groups.
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 multiplicity-free subgroups (strong Gelfand subgroups) of wreath products are investigated. Various useful reduction arguments are presented. In particular, we show that for every finite group $F$, the wreath product $F\wr S_\lambda$,…
Consider the generalized iterated wreath product $\mathbb{Z}_{r_1}\wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_2}\wr \ldots \wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_k}$ where $r_i \in \mathbb{N}$. We prove that the irreducible representations for this class of groups are indexed by a…
We study the unit group of the modular group algebra KG, where G is a 2-group of maximal class. We prove that the unit group of KG possesses a section isomorphic to the wreath product of a group of order two with the commutator subgroup of…
The RP-property of Fel'shtyn and Troitsky is proved for wreath products of finitely generated Abelian groups with the group of integers. Such wreath products become the first known example of finitely generated RP-groups being not almost…
For every metric space $\mathcal X$ in which there exists a sequence of finite groups of bounded-size generating set that does not embed coarsely, and for every unbounded, increasing function $\rho$, we produce a group of subexponential…
We introduce a notion of a length function exponentially distorted on a (compactly generated) subgroup of a locally compact group. We prove that for a connected linear complex Lie group there is a maximum equivalence class of length…
Wreath products involving symmetric inverse monoids/semigroups/categories arise in many areas of algebra and science, and presentations by generators and relations are crucial tools in such studies. The current paper finds such…
We study the asymptotics of the reducible representations of the wreath products G\wr S_q=G^q \rtimes S_q for large q, where G is a fixed finite group and S_q is the symmetric group in q elements; in particular for G=Z/2Z we recover the…
In this paper we study the complexity of solving orientable quadratic equations in wreath products $A\wr B$ of finitely generated abelian groups. We give a classification of cases (depending on genus and other characteristics of a given…
In 1997 Clarke et al. studied a $q$-analogue of Euler's difference table for $n!$ using a key bijection $\Psi$ on symmetric groups. In this paper we extend their results to the wreath product of a cyclic group with the symmetric group. In…
A generating set for the wreath product $\ZZ_r \wr S_n$ which leads to a nicely behaved weak order is presented, and properties of the resulting order are studied.
We construct families of finitely presented groups exhibiting new divergence behavior; we obtain divergence functions of the form $r^\alpha$ for a dense set of exponents $\alpha \in [2,\infty)$ and $r^n\log(r)$ for integers $n \geq 2$. The…
If $\G$ is a finitely generated group with generators $\{g_1,...,g_j\}$ then an infinite order element $f \in \G$ is a {\em distortion element} of $\G$ provided $\displaystyle{\liminf_{n \to \infty} |f^n|/n = 0,}$ where $|f^n|$ is the word…
