Metric approximations of unrestricted wreath products when the acting group is amenable

The Wreath Products

Group Codes based on Wreath Products of Complex Reflection Groups

Group codes based on wreath products of complex matrix groups are constructed. Efficient algorithms for encoding and decoding these codes are described.

Wreath Products in the Unit Group of Modular Group Algebras of 2-groups of Maximal Class

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 group G.

Rooted Wreath Products

We introduce “rooted valuation products” and use them to construct universal Abelian lattice-ordered groups (with prescribed set of components) [CHH] from the more classical theory of [Ha]. The Wreath product construction of [H] and [HMc] generalised the Abelian (lattice-ordered) group ideas to a permutation group setting to respectively give universals for transitive (`-) permutation groups wi...

Eigenvalues of Random Wreath Products

Steven N. Evans Department of Statistics #3860, University of California at Berkeley 367 Evans Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-3860, U.S.A [email protected] Abstract Consider a uniformly chosen element Xn of the n-fold wreath product Γn = G o G o · · · o G, where G is a finite permutation group acting transitively on some set of size s. The eigenvalues of Xn in the natural sn-dimensional permuta...
