Let be a finite group, a field. A twisted group algebra A() on over is an associative algebra whose elements are the formal linear combinations and in which the product (A)(B) is a non-zero multiple of (AB), where AB is the group product of A, B ∈: . One gets the ordinary group algebra () by taking each fA, B ≠ 1.

Let G be a group and let K be a field. The twisted group algebra Kt(G) of G over K is defined as follows: let G have elements a, b, c, … and let Kt(G) be the vector space over K with basis elements ; let α: G ×G → K be a 2-cocycle and define a multiplication on Kt(G) byextending this by linearity to Kt(G) yields an associative algebra. We are interested in information concerning the Jacobson radical of Kt(G), denoted by JKt(G).

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group with neutral element e which operates trivially on the multiplicative group R* of a commutative ring with identity 1. Let H2(G, R*) = Z2(G, R*)/B2(G, R*) denote the second cohomology group of G with respect to the trivial G-module R*. With every factor system (2-cocycle) f ∈ Z2(G, R*) we associate the so called (central) twisted group algebra (R, G, f) of G over R (see [4, Chapter V, 23.7] or [13, §4] for a definition). If f is cohomologous to f', then the R-algebras (R, G, f) and (R, G, f′) are isomorphic. Hence, up to R-algebra isomorphism, (R, G, f) is determined by the cohomology class f∈H2(G, R*) determined by f. If R = k is a field of characteristic not dividing the order |G| of G, then a computation of the discriminant of (k, G, f) shows that (k, G, f) is semisimple (see [13, 4.2]).

AbstractLet U(KλG) be the group of units of the infinite twisted group algebra KλG over a field K. We describe the FC-centre ΔU of U(KλG) and give a characterization of the groups G and fields K for which U(KλG) = ΔU. In the case of group algebras we obtain the Cliff-Sehgal-Zassenhaus theorem.

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.

It is well known that when the characteristic p(≠ 0) of a field divides the order of a finite group, the group algebra possesses a non-trivial radical and that, if p does not divide the order of the group, the group algebra is semi-simple. A group algebra has a centre, a basis for which consists of the class-sums. The radical may be contained in this centre; we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for this to happen.

Let K be a field. The Schur subgroup, S(K), of the Brauer group, B(K), consists of all classes [△] in B(K) some representative of which is a simple component of one of the semi-simple group algebras, KG, where G is a finite group such that char K ∤ G. Yamada ([11], p. 46) has characterized S(K) for all finite extensions of the p-adic number field, Qp. If p is odd, [△] ∈ S(K) if and only ifwhere c is the tame ramification index of k/Qp, k the maximal cyclotomic subfield of K, and s = ((p – 1)/c, [K : k]). invp △ is the Hasse invariant. Yamada showed this by proving first that S(K) is the group of classes containing cyclotomic algebras and then determining the invariants of such algebras.

Let K be an arbitrary field with characteristic p > 0, G a finite group of order pag′ with (p, g′) = 1, P a p-Sylow subgroup of G and G′ the commutator subgroup of G. For a ring R denote by J(R) the Jacobson radical of R and by Z(R) the centre of R. We write KG for the group algebra of G over K.

AbstractWe provide an isomorphism between the Grothendieck ring of modules of the twisted quantum double of a finite group, and a product of centres of twisted group algebras of centralizer subgroups. It follows that this Grothendieck ring is semisimple. Another consequence is a formula for the characters of this ring in terms of representations of twisted group algebras of centralizer subgroups.

Given a partial action α of a group G on the group algebra FH, where H is a finite group and F is a field whose characteristic p divides the order of H, we investigate the associativity question of the partial crossed product FH *α G. If FH *α G is associative for any G and any α, then FH is called strongly associative. We characterize the strongly associative modular group algebras FH with H being a p-solvable group.
