Properties
- Since the finite direct product is the same as the finite direct sum of groups it follows that the unrestricted A WrΩ H and the restricted wreath product A wrΩ H agree if the H-set Ω is finite. In particular this is true when Ω = H is finite.
- A wrΩ H is always a subgroup of A WrΩ H.
- Universal Embedding Theorem: If G is an extension of A by H, then there exists a subgroup of the unrestricted wreath product A≀H which is isomorphic to G.
- If A, H and Ω are finite, then
-
- |A≀ΩH| = |A||Ω||H|.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
