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 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.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider all metacyclic groups of the type 〈a,b | an - 1, b2 = 1, ba = aib〉 and give a concrete description of their rational group algebras. As a consequence we obtain, in a natural way, units which generate a subgroup of finite index in the full unit group, for almost all such groups.
