Abstract: Let G be a finitely generated group, equipped with the word metric d associated with some finite set of generators. The Hilbert compression exponent of G is the supremum over all $alphage0$ such that there exists a Lipschitz mapping $f:Go{L}_2$ and a constant $c>0$ such that for all $x,yinG$ we have $|f(x)-f(y){|}_{2}gecd(x,y{)}^{a}lpha.$ In cite{AGS06} it was shown that the Hilbert compression exponent of the wreath product $$ is at most $frac34$, and in cite{NP07} was proved that this exponent is at least $frac23$. Here we show that $frac23$ is the correct value. Our proof is based on an application of K. Ball's notion of Markov type.
