In [5], Chase, Harrison and Rosenberg proved the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory for commutative ring extensions S ⊃ R under two hypotheses: (i) 5 (and hence R) has no idempotents except 0 and l; and (ii) 5 is Galois over R with respect to a finite group G—which in the presence of (i) is equivalent to (ii′): S is separable as an R-algebra, finitely generated and projective as an R-module, and the fixed ring under the group of all R-algebra automorphisms of S is exactly R.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let A be a finitely generated R-algebra with Jacobson radical N and center C. An R-inertial subalgebra of A is a R-separable subalgebra B with the property that B+N=A. Suppose A is separable over C and possesses a finite group G of R-automorphisms whose restriction to C is faithful with fixed ring R. If R is an inertial subalgebra of C, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an R-inertial subalgebra of A are found when the order of G is a unit in R. Under these conditions, an R-inertial subalgebra B of A is characterized as being the fixed subring of a group of R-automorphisms of A. Moreover, A ⋍ B ⊗R C. Analogous results are obtained when C has an R-inertial subalgebra S ⊃ R.

In 1942 Artin proved the linear independence, over a field S, of distinct automorphism of S; in other words if G is a finite group of automorphisms of S and R is the fixed field, then Horn^S, S) is a free S-module with G as basis. Since then, this last condition (“S is G-Galois”) or its equivalents have been used as a postulate in all the Galois theories of rings that are not fields, for example by Dieudonné, Jacobson, Azumaya and Nakayama for noncommutative rings and then in [AG, Appendix] and [CUR] for commutative rings. When S has no idempotents but 0 and 1, [CHR] proves that the ordinary fundamental theorem of Galois theory holds with no real change from the classical, field case.

An associative ring R with identity is called a left (right) FPF ring if given any finitely generated faithful left (right) R-module A and any left (right) R-module M then M is the epimorphic image of a direct sum of copies of A. Faith and Page have asked if the subring of elements fixed by a finite group of automorphisms of an FPF ring need also be FPF. Here we present examples showing the answer to be negative in general.

Throughout this paper, S will be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with an identity element ls ≠ 0s. We shall use R to denote a second ring, and ϕ: S→ R will be a fixed ring homomorphism for which ϕ1S = 1R.In (7), Higman generalized the Casimir operator of classical theory and used his generalization to characterize relatively projective and injective modules. As a special case, he obtained a theorem which contains results of Eckmann (3) and of Higman himself (5), and which also includes Gaschütz's generalization (4) of Maschke's theorem. (For a discussion of some of the developments of Maschke's idea of averaging over a finite group, we refer the reader to (2, Chapter IX).) In the present paper, we define the Casimir operator of a family of S-homomorphisms of one R-module into another, and we again use this operator to characterize relatively projective and injective modules.

Our aim in this paper is to prove the general mod ℭ suspension theorem: Suppose that X and Y are CW-complexes,ℭ is a class offinite abelian groups, and that(i) πi(Y) ∈ℭfor all i < n,(ii) H*(X; Z) is finitely generated,(iii) Hi(X;Z) ∈ℭfor all i > k.Then the suspension homomorphismis a(mod ℭ) monomorphism for 2 ≦ r ≦ 2n – k – 2 (when r= 1, ker E is a finite group of order d, where Zd∈ ℭ and is a (mod ℭ) epimorphism for 2 ≦ r ≦ 2n – k – 2The proof is basically the same as the proof of the regular suspension theorem. It depends essentially on (mod ℭ) versions of the Serre exact sequence and of the Whitehead theorem.

In § 1 of this note we first define the trace of an endomorphism of a projective module P over a non-commutative ring A. Then we call the trace of the identity the rank element r(P) of P, which we shall illustrate by several examples. For a projective module P over the groupalgebra of a finite group G, the rank element of P is essentially the character of G in P. In § 2 we prove that under certain assumption two projective modules Pi and P2 over an algebra over a complete local ring o are isomorphic if and only if their rank elements are identical. This is a type of proposition asserting that two representations are equivalent if and only if their characters are identical, and in fact, when A is the groupalgebra, the above theorem may be considered as another formulation of Swan’s local theorem [9]).

We consider the finitely generated groups acting on a regular tree with almost prescribed local action. We show that these groups embed as cocompact irreducible lattices in some locally compact wreath products. This provides examples of finitely generated simple groups quasi-isometric to a wreath product $C\wr F$ , where $C$ is a finite group and $F$ a non-abelian free group.

1. If P is any property of groups, then we say that a group G is ‘locally P’ if every finitely generated subgroup of G satisfies P. In this paper we shall be chiefly concerned with the case when P is the property of being nilpotent, and will examine some properties of nilpotent groups which also hold for locally nilpotent groups. Examples of locally nilpotent groups are the locally finite p-groups (groups such that every finite subset is contained in a finite group of order a power of the prime p); indeed, every periodic locally nilpotent group is the direct product of locally finite p-groups.

Let G be a finite group; by an algebraic 2-complex over G we mean an exact sequence of Z[G]-modules of the form:E = (0 → J → E2 → E1 → E0 → Z → 0)where Er is finitely generated free over Z[G] for 0 [les ] r [les ] 2. The module J is determined up to stability by the fact of appearing in such an exact sequence; we denote its stable class by Ω3(Z); E is said to be minimal when rkZ(J) attains the minimum possible value within Ω3(Z).
