Mikaelian" ], "categories": [ "math.GR" ], "abstract": "We suggest a criterion under which for a nilpotent group of finite exponent $A$ and for an abelian group $B$ the variety $var(A \\,Wr\\, B)$ generated by their wreath product $A \\,Wr\\, B$ is equal to the product of varieties $var(A)$ and $var(B)$ generated by $A$ and $B$. Namely the equality holds if and only if either the group $B$ is not of some non-zero exponent; or if $B$ is of a non-zero exponent $n$, and $B$ contains a subgroup isomorphic to $C_{d}^c \\times C_{n/d}^\\infty$, where $c$ is the nilpotency class of $A$, $d$ is the largest divisor of $n$ coprime with $m$, $C_{d}^c$ is the direct power of $c$ copies of the cycle $C_d$ of order $d$, $C_{n/d}^\\infty$ is the direct power of countably many copies of the cycle $C_{n/d}$ of order $n/d$. This criterion continues our previous work on cases when the similar criterions were given for wreath products of abelian groups or of finite groups. Also, this is a generalization of known results in literature, which solve the same problem for much more restricted cases. Some applications of the criterion are considered at the end of paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-08T17:28:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E22", "20E10", "20K01", "20K25", "20D15" ], "keywords": [ "wreath product", "classification theorem", "abelian group", "non-zero exponent", "direct power" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
