Automorphisms of Regular Wreath Product -Groups

Automorphisms of Regular Wreath Product p-Groups

We present a useful new characterization of the automorphisms of the regular wreath product group P of a finite cyclic p-group by a finite cyclic p-group, for any prime p, and we discuss an application. We also present a short new proof, based on representation theory, for determining the order of the automorphism group Aut P , where P is the regular wreath product of a finite cyclic p-group by...

Automorphism Groups of Wreath Product Digraphs

We strengthen a classical result of Sabidussi giving a necessary and sufficient condition on two graphs, X and Y , for the automorphsim group of the wreath product of the graphs, Aut(X o Y ) to be the wreath product of the automorphism groups Aut(X) o Aut(Y ). We also generalize this to arrive at a similar condition on color digraphs. The main purpose of this paper is to revisit a well-known an...

Groups with regular automorphisms of order four

An automorphism of a group G is called regular if it moves every element of G except the identity. BURNSIDE proved that a finite group G has a regular automorphism of order two if and only if G is an abelian group of odd order, and then the only such automorphism maps every element onto its inverse ([21, p. 230). More recently several authors considered the question: what groups can admit regul...

Conjugacy growth series for wreath product finitary symmetric groups

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 family of conjugacy growth series for the finitary alternating wreath product that are related to sums of modular forms of integer and half-integral weights, ...
