For all integers $p>q>0$ and $k >0$, and all non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $H$, we construct a hyperbolic group $G$ in which $H$ is a subgroup, such that the distortion function of $H$ in $G$ grows like $\exp^k(n^{p/q})$.…

In this paper we compute the discrete fundamental groups of warped cones. As an immediate consequence, this allows us to show that there exist coarsely simply-connected expanders and superexpanders. This also provides a strong coarse…

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…

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…

Semi-direct products of finite groups have permutation representations that are constructed from the permutation representations of their constituents. One can envision these in a metaphoric sense in which a rope is made from a bundle of…

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.

We study distortion of elements in two-dimensional Cremona groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. Namely, we obtain the following trichotomy: non-elliptic elements (i.e., those whose powers have unbounded degree)…

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

We investigate a semigroup construction generalising the two-sided wreath product. We develop the foundations of this construction and show that for groups it is isomorphic to the usual wreath product. We also show that it gives a slightly…

In this paper, we study the existence of proper warped product submanifolds in metallic (or Golden) Riemannian manifolds and we discuss about semi-invariant, semi-slant and, respectively, hemi-slant warped product submanifolds in metallic…

The wreath product of two permutation groups G < Sym(Gamma) and H < Sym(Delta) can be considered as a permutation group acting on the set Pi of functions from Delta to Gamma. This action, usually called the product action, of a wreath…

We prove some conditions for the existence of higher dimensional algebraic fibering of group extensions. This leads to various corollaries on incoherence of groups and some geometric examples of algebraic fibers of type $F_n$ but not…

Wreath products of non-discrete locally compact groups are usually not locally compact groups, nor even topological groups. We introduce a natural extension of the wreath product construction to the setting of locally compact groups. As an…

Let S be an immersed horizontal surface in a 3-dimensional graph manifold. We show that the fundamental group of the surface S is quadratically distorted whenever the surface is virtually embedded (i.e., separable) and is exponentially…

In this paper we construct finite dimensional representations of the wreath product symplectic reflection algebra H(k,c,N,G) of rank N attached to a finite subgroup G of SL(2,C) (here k is a number and c a class function on the set of…

In this article, we introduce halo products as a natural generalisation of wreath products. They also encompass lampshuffler groups $\mathrm{FSym}(H) \rtimes H$ and lampcloner groups $\mathrm{FGL}(H) \rtimes H$, as well as many possible…

The irreducible character values of the spin wreath products of the symmetric group and an arbitrary finite group are completely determined.

The irreducible spin character values of the wreath products of the hyperoctahedral groups with an arbitrary finite group are determined.

There has been substantial investigation in recent years of subdirect products of limit groups and their finite presentability and homological finiteness properties. To contrast the results obtained for limit groups, Baumslag, Bridson, Holt…

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…
