Torsion and K-theory for Some Free Wreath Products

Abstract

Abstract We classify torsion actions of free wreath products of arbitrary compact quantum groups by $S_{N}^{+}$ and use this to prove that if $\mathbb{G}$ is a torsion-free compact quantum group satisfying the strong Baum–Connes property then $\mathbb{G}\wr _{\ast }S_{N}^{+}$ also satisfies the strong Baum–Connes property. We then compute the K-theory of free wreath products of classical and quantum free groups by $SO_{q}(3)$.
