We present a full description of the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of restricted permutational wreath products of groups. We also give partial results about the 2-dimensional homotopical invariant of such groups. These results may be…

These are lecture notes from author's mini-course during Session 1: "Vertex algebras, W-algebras, and application" of INdAM Intensive research period "Perspectives in Lie Theory", at the Centro di Ricerca Matematica Ennio De Giorgi, Pisa,…

This is a written version of the invited lecture at the 9th European Congress of Mathematics in July 2024 in Sevilla. We review certain new symmetries of Grothendieck rings that have emerged in representation theory.

This is the text of the lecture given by the author in Naples at "Giornata IndAM", June 7, 2005. The lecture is addressed at the general mathematical audience and reviews several topics in deformation theory of associative algebras.

The Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example for discrete subgroups of Lie groups, virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups, Artin…

We propose an analogue of Solomon's descent theory for the case of a wreath product G ~ S_n, where G is a finite abelian group. Our construction mixes a number of ingredients: Mantaci-Reutenauer algebras, Specht's theory for the…

This volume contains the accepted papers at the third Workshop on Membrane Computing and Biologically Inspired Process Calculi, held in Bologna on 5th September 2009. The papers are devoted to both membrane computing and biologically…

Let $G_{1}$, $G_{2}$, ... be a sequence of groups each of which is either an alternating group, a symmetric group or a cyclic group and construct a sequence $(W_{i})$ of wreath products via $W_{1} = G_{1}$ and, for each $i \geq 1$, $W_{i+1}…

Let I be a finite partially ordered set and let (Sym({\Delta}i),{\Delta}i)i be a sequence of symmetric groups indexed by I. Construct the generalised wreath product (F, {\Delta}) on this sequence of permutation groups. We determine the…

W. Haebich (1977, Journal of Algebra {\bf 44}, 420-433) presented some formulas for the Schur multiplier of a semidirect product and also a verbal wreath product of two groups. The author (1997, Indag. Math., (N.S.), {\bf 8}({\bf 4}),…

In this paper we review various strikingly parallel algebraic structures behind Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and certain finite groups called the wreath products. We explain connections among Hilbert schemes, wreath products,…

This paper will appear in the Proceedings of the 1995 Santa Cruz Summer Institute. The paper is a survey of recent developments in the theory of toric varieties, including new constructions of toric varieties and relations to symplectic…

We present the proceedings from a 2-day workshop held at Swinburne University on the 24th-25th of May 2005. The workshop participants highlighted current Australian research on both theoretical and observational aspects of galaxy groups.…

The goal of these lecture notes is to survey progress on the global Langlands reciprocity conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over number fields from the last decade and a half. We highlight results and conjectures on Shimura varieties and more…

In this paper we make explicit an application of the wreath product construction to the Galois groups of field extensions. More precisely, given a tower of fields $F \subseteq K \subseteq L$ with $L/F$ finite and separable, we explicitly…

A result of Farahat and Higman shows that there is a ``universal'' algebra, $\mathrm{FH}$, interpolating the centres of symmetric group algebras, $Z(\mathbb{Z}S_n)$. We explain that this algebra is isomorphic to $\mathcal{R} \otimes…

In this work, we introduce a family of new equivalence relations among fusion categories that are less refined than the usual Morita equivalence. We obtain abelian groups by quotienting these new equivalence relations from the commutative…

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 investigate one question regarding bicrossed products of finite groups which we believe has the potential of being approachable for other classes of algebraic objects (algebras, Hopf algebras). The problem is to classify the groups that…
