Aug 27, 2020 at 12:11 comment added Mark Wildon AGenevois' comment answers the question in any reasonable interpretation, but I'm still not sure exactly what is being asked. What representation of $O_n(\mathbb{R})$ is used to define the wreath product? Why refer to the 'set' of orthogonal groups?

Aug 27, 2020 at 5:26 comment added AGenevois A theorem of Burnside shows that a subgroup of finite exponent in $\mathrm{GL}(k,\mathbb{R})$ must be finite. Even the lamplighter group $\mathbb{Z}_2 \wr \mathbb{Z}$ is not a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(k,\mathbb{R})$.
