Abstract: In this paper the authors introduce a new notion called the quantum wreath product, which produces an algebra $Bw{r}_{Q}mathcalH(d)$ from a given algebra $B$, a positive integer $d$, and a choice $Q=(R,S,ho,sigma)$ of parameters. Important examples include many variants of the Hecke algebras, such as the Ariki-Koike algebras, the affine Hecke algebras and their degenerate version, Wan-Wang's wreath Hecke algebras, Rosso-Savage's (affine) Frobenius Hecke algebras, Kleshchev-Muth's affine zigzag algebras, and the Hu algebra that quantizes the wreath product $Sigm{a}_{m}wrSigm{a}_2$ between symmetric groups. In the first part of the paper, the authors develop a structure theory for the quantum wreath product algebras. Necessary and sufficient conditions for these algebras to afford a basis of suitable size are obtained. Furthermore, a Schur-Weyl duality is established via a splitting lemma and mild assumptions on the base algebra $B$. Our uniform approach encompasses many known results which were proved in a case by case manner. The second part of the paper involves the problem of constructing natural subalgebras of Hecke algebras that arise from wreath products. Moreover, a bar-invariant basis of the Hu algebra via an explicit formula for its extra generator is also described.
