Stability of the class algebras of symmetric groups and wreath products
by
Weiqiang Wang
University of Virginia

We will describe two types of stability (i.e. independence of n) of the class algebra structures of the symmetric groups Sn and, more generally, the wreath products G \wr Sn as n varies. Here G is a finite group. These have as their counterparts the stability of the cohomology rings of the Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces which are compact and noncompact respectively.
