Definition

Let be a prime number. The wreath product of groups of order is any of the following equivalent things:

  1. It is the wreath product of the cyclic group of order with the cyclic group of order , where the latter is given the regular action on a set of size .
  2. It is the semidirect product of the elementary Abelian group of order and a cyclic group of order acting on it by cyclic permutation of coordinates.
  3. It is the -Sylow subgroup of the symmetric group of order .
