Extract

In this paper we study the faithful irreducible representations of certain families of wreath products and show how a particular class of such representations is related to the automorphisms of these groups. Our methods enable us to calculate the orders of the automorphism groups, although they do not deal with their structure. The wreath products that we consider here include most of the Sylow p-subgroups of the classical groups, which are described in (1) and (4).
