Product action of a wreath product

ID: product-action-of-a-wreath-product

The base group acts independently on each coordinate of a Cartesian power, and the top group permutes coordinates. This is distinct from the imprimitive action on a disjoint union of blocks. It is primitive when the base action is primitive and nonregular and the top group is transitive. The full product-action overgroup is . Socles of almost-simple, diagonal or holomorph bases produce respectively product-action, compound-diagonal or holomorph-compound types.
