In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of the finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group algebras of various normally monomial groups. The automorphism groups of these group algebras are also determined.

Given a finite metabelian group G, whose central quotient is abelian (not cyclic) group of order p2, p odd prime, the objective of this paper is to obtain a complete algebraic structure of semisimple group algebra Fq[G] in terms of primitive central idempotents, Wedderburn decomposition and the automorphism group.

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection (∗-invariant idempotent). In this paper, we consider the group algebras of the dihedral groups [Formula: see text], and the generalized quaternion groups [Formula: see text] with standard involution ∗. For the non-semisimple group algebra case, we characterize the ∗-cleanness of [Formula: see text] with a prime [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a commutative local ring. For the semisimple group algebra case, we investigate when [Formula: see text] is ∗-clean, where [Formula: see text] is the field of rational numbers [Formula: see text] or a finite field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].

Several relations and bounds for the dimension of principal ideals in group algebras are determined by analyzing minimal polynomials of regular representations. These results are used in the two last sections. First, in the context of semisimple group algebras, to compute, for any abelian code, an element with Hamming weight equal to its dimension. Finally, to get bounds on the minimum distance of certain MDS group codes. A relation between a class of group codes and MDS codes is presented. Examples illustrating the main results are provided.

When considering the unit group of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] the ring of integers of an abelian number field [Formula: see text] and a finite group [Formula: see text]) certain components in the Wedderburn decomposition of [Formula: see text] cause problems for known generic constructions of units; these components are called exceptional. Exceptional components are divided into two types: type 1 is division rings, type 2 is [Formula: see text]-matrix rings. For exceptional components of type 1 we provide infinite classes of division rings by describing the seven cases of minimal groups (with respect to quotients) having those division rings in their Wedderburn decomposition over [Formula: see text]. We also classify the exceptional components of type 2 appearing in group algebras of a finite group over number fields [Formula: see text] by describing all 58 finite groups [Formula: see text] having a faithful exceptional Wedderburn component of this type in [Formula: see text].
