Given sofic approximations for countable, discrete groups $G,H$, we construct a sofic approximation for their wreath product $G\wr H$.
We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…
Let $G$ be a finite group with $k$ conjugacy classes, and $S(\infty)$ be the infinite symmetric group, i.e. the group of finite permutations of $\left\{1,2,3,\ldots\right\}$. Then the wreath product $G_{\infty}=G\sim S(\infty)$ of $G$ with…
We affirm several special cases of a conjecture that first appears in Alspach et al.~(1987) which stipulates that the wreath (lexicographic) product of two hamiltonian decomposable directed graphs is also hamiltonian decomposable.…
Given the large class of groups already known to be sofic, there is seemingly a shortfall in results concerning their permanence properties. We address this problem for wreath products, and in particular investigate the behaviour of more…
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…
It is proved that for any prime $p$ a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite $p$-groups if and only if the torsion subgroup of it is a finite $p$-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup…
There are several graphs defined on groups. Among them we consider graphs whose vertex set consists conjugacy classes of a group $G$ and adjacency is defined by properties of the elements of conjugacy classes. In particular, we consider…
In recent work, Bacher and de la Harpe define and study conjugacy growth series for finitary permutation groups. In two subsequent papers, Cotron, Dicks, and Fleming study the congruence properties of some of these series. We define a new…
We prove that any word hyperbolic group which is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) is conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce that all word hyperbolic Coxeter groups and many classical small cancellation…
A group $G$ is called hereditarily non-topologizable if, for every $H\le G$, no quotient of $H$ admits a non-discrete Hausdorff topology. We construct first examples of infinite hereditarily non-topologizable groups. This allows us to prove…
In this paper we consider groups of the form $G\wr L$, where the set of generators naturally extends the sets of generators of $G$ and $L$, and $L$ admits a Cayley graph that is a tree. We show how one can compute the conjugacy growth…
We give a modular branching rule for certain wreath products as a generalization of Kleshchev's modular branching rule for the symmetric groups. Our result contains a modular branching rule for the complex reflection groups $G(m,1,n)$…
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…
An $S$-ring (a Schur ring) is said to be separable with respect to a class of groups $\mathcal{K}$ if every algebraic isomorphism from the $S$-ring in question to an $S$-ring over a group from $\mathcal{K}$ is induced by a combinatorial…
In this paper we study the conjugacy problem in polycyclic groups. Our main result is that we construct polycyclic groups $G_n$ whose conjugacy problem is at least as hard as the subset sum problem with $n$ indeterminates. As such, the…
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 study the class of densely related groups. These are finitely generated (or more generally, compactly generated locally compact) groups satisfying a strong negation of being finitely presented, in the sense that new relations appear at…
We consider a particular class of Garside groups, which we call circular groups. We mainly prove that roots are unique up to conjugacy in circular groups. This allows us to completely classify these groups up to isomorphism. As a…
It is shown that membership in rational subsets of wreath products H \wr V with H a finite group and V a virtually free group is decidable. On the other hand, it is shown that there exists a fixed finitely generated submonoid in the wreath…
