Characteristic 2

Let [Formula: see text] be a field of characteristic 2. In this paper, we provide an interesting application of quadratic forms over [Formula: see text] in determination of the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a real special [Formula: see text]-group. We further apply these computations to exhibit two non-isomorphic real special [Formula: see text]-groups with isomorphic rational group algebra.

A Finite Group

An explicit expression for the primitive central idempotent of the rational group algebra ℚ[G] of a finite group G associated with any complex irreducible character of G is obtained. A complete set of primitive central idempotents and the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of a finite metabelian group is also computed.

Lie Idempotent

AbstractThe orthogonal projection of the free associative algebra onto the free Lie algebra is afforded by an idempotent in the rational group algebra of the symmetric group Sn, in each homogenous degree n. We give various characterizations of this Lie idempotent and show that it is uniquely determined by a certain unit in the group algebra of Sn−1. The inverse of this unit, or, equivalently, the Gram matrix of the orthogonal projection, is described explicitly. We also show that the Garsia Lie idempotent is not constant on descent classes (in fact, not even on coplactic classes) in Sn.

Group Of Units

Let ℚAn be the group algebra of the alternating group over the rationals. By exploiting the theory of Young tableaux, we give an explicit description of the minimal central idempotents of ℚAn. As an application we construct finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the centre of the group of units of ℚAn.

We calculate K0 of the rational group algebra of a certain crystallographic group, showing that it contains an element of order 2. We show that this element is the Euler class, and use our calculation to produce a whole family of groups with Euler class of order 2.

Special Case

The purpose of this paper is to obtain quantitative results on invertible powers of (fractional) ideals in commutative separable algebras over dedekind domains. This is connected with the work of Dade, Taussky and Zassenhaus(2) on ideals in noetherian domains. We do not, however, make use of their paper, but rather draw on the general theorems on ideals in commutative separable algebras established by Fröhlich (3), in particular his qualitative result that some power of any given ideal is invertible. Our basic result (Theorem 1) concerns the invertibility of powers of a particular type of ideal, the componentwise dedekind ideals defined below. From this we deduce a general result (Theorem 2), which includes as a special case Theorem C of (2) for the case of separable field extensions; specifically, the (n – 1)th power of any ideal is invertible, where n is the dimension of the algebra. Although, as we show, it is possible to deduce Theorem 2 from (2), we have here an independent proof of one of the main results of (2) based entirely on the results in (3). As a further application of Theorem 1 we obtain a new result on ideals over the group ring of an abelian group over the ring of rational integers; the (t – 1)th power of such an ideal is invertible, where t is the maximum number of simple components of the rational group algebra of any Sylow subgroup. We also show that this is the best possible result when some Sylow subgroup whose rational group algebra has t components is cyclic.

We give a description of the primitive central idempotents of the rational group algebra ℚG of a finite group G. Such a description is already investigated by Jespers, Olteanu and del Río, but some unknown scalars are involved. Our description also gives answers to their questions.

The One

The simplest example of two non-isomorphic groups with the same character tables is provided by the non-abelian groups of order p3, p ≠ 2. Let G1 be the one of exponent p and let G2 be the other. If Q denotes the field of rational numbers, then Berman (2) has shown that QG1 ≈ QG2, where QGi denotes the rational group algebra. In this note we shall show that the corresponding statement is false for ZGi where Z is the ring of rational integers. More explicitly we shall show that ZG1 does not contain a unit of order p2 so that it is impossible to embed ZG2 in ZG1.
