LetBbe a ring with1,Ga finite automorphism group ofBof ordernfor some integern,BGthe set of elements inBfixed under each element inG, andΔ=VB(BG)the commutator subring ofBGinB. Then the type of central commutator Galois extensions is studied. This type includes the types of Azumaya Galois extensions and GaloisH-separable extensions. Several characterizations of a central commutator Galois extension are given. Moreover, it is shown that whenGis inner,Bis a central commutator Galois extension ofBGif and only ifBis anH-separable projective group ringBGGf. This generalizes the structure theorem for central Galois algebras with an inner Galois group proved by DeMeyer.

Two characterizations of an Azumaya Galois extension of a ring are given in terms of the Azumaya skew group ring of the Galois group over the extension and a Galois extension of a ring with a special Galois system is determined by the trace of the Galois group.

We study the Mahler measure of generators of a Galois extension with Galois group the full symmetric group. We prove that two classical constructions of generators give always algebraic numbers of big height. These results answer a question of Smyth and provide some evidence to a conjecture which asserts that the height of such a generator grows to infinity with the degree of the extension.

Let [Formula: see text] be a partial Galois extension where [Formula: see text] is a partial action of a finite group on a ring [Formula: see text] such that the associated ideals are generated by central idempotents. We determine the set of all Galois extensions in [Formula: see text], and give an orthogonality criterion for nonzero elements in the Boolean semigroup generated by those central idempotents. These results lead to a structure theorem for [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe study the second Chinburg invariant of a Galois extension of number fields. The Chinburg invariant lies in the class-group of the integral group-ring of the Galois group of the extension. A procedure is given whereby to evaluate the invariant in the case of the real cyclotomic case of regular prime power conductor and their subextensions of p-power degree. The invariant is shown to be zero in the latter cases, which yields new examples giving an affirmative answer to a question of Chinburg ([1], p. 358) which has come to be known as ‘Chinburg's Second Conjecture’ ([3], §4·2).

AbstractLet L/k be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. For every odd prime p satisfying certain mild technical hypotheses, we use values of Artin L-functions to construct an element in the centre of the group ring ℤ(p)[G] that annihilates the p-part of the class group of L.
