Let Λ be the set of inequivalent representations of a finite group over a field . Λ is made the basis of an algebra over the complex numbers , called the representation algebra, in which multiplication corresponds to the tensor product of representations and addition to direct sum. Green [5] has shown that if char (the non-modular case) or if is cyclic, then is semi-simple, i.e. is a direct sum of copies of . Here we consider two modular, non-cyclic cases, viz, where is or 4 (alternating group) and is of characteristic 2.

Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let G be a finite group. Let A(G) be the modular representation algebra1 over the complex numbers C, formed from kG-modules2. If the Sylow 2-subgroup of G is isomorphic to Z2×Z2, we show that A(G) is semisimple. We make use of the theorems proved by Green [4] and the results of the author concerning A(4) [2], where 4 is the alternating group on 4 symbols.

Let G be a finite group and F a complete local noetherian commutative ring with residue field of characteristic p # 0. Let A(G) denote the representation algebra of G with respect to F. This is a linear algebra over the complex field whose basis elements are the isomorphism-classes of indecomposable finitely generated FG-representation modules, with addition and multiplication induced by direct sum and tensor product respectively. The two authors have separately found decompositions of A(G) as direct sums of subalgebras. In this note we show that the decompositions in one case have a common refinement given in the other's paper.

A Gelfand model for a finite group G is a complex representation of G, which is isomorphic to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of G. When G is isomorphic to a subgroup of GLn(ℂ), where ℂ is the field of complex numbers, it has been proved that each G-module over ℂ is isomorphic to a G-submodule in the polynomial ring ℂ[x1,…,xn], and taking the space of zeros of certain G-invariant operators in the Weyl algebra, a finite-dimensional G-space 𝒩G in ℂ[x1,…,xn] can be obtained, which contains all the simple G-modules over ℂ. This type of representation has been named polynomial model. It has been proved that when G is a Coxeter group, the polynomial model is a Gelfand model for G if, and only if, G has not an irreducible factor of type D2n, E7, or E8. This paper presents a model of Gelfand for a Weyl group of type D2n whose construction is based on the same principles as the polynomial model.

Let p be an odd prime and G = HB be a semi-direct product where H is a cyclic, p-Sylow subgroup and B is finite Abelian. If K is a field of characteristic p the isomorphism classes of KG-modules relative to direct sum and tensor product generate a ring a(G) called the representation ring of G over K. If K is algebraically closed it is shown in (4) that there is a ring isomorphism a(G) ≃ a(HB2)⊗a(B1) where B1 is the kernel of the action of B on H and B2 = B/B1.> 2, Aut (H) is cyclic thus HB2 is metacyclic. The study of the multiplicative structure of a(G) is thus reduced to that of the known rings a(B1) and a(HB2) (see (3)).

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.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

A Finite Group

The group ring of a finite abelian group G over the field of rational numbers Q and over the rational integers Z is studied. A new proof of the fact that the group ring QG is a direct sum of cyclotomic fields is given – without use of the Maschke and Wedderburn theorems; it is shown that the projections of QG onto these fields are determined by the inequivalent characters of G. It is proved that the group of units of ZG is a direct product of a finite group and a free abelian group F and the rank of F is determined. A formula for the orthogonal idempotents of QG is found.

We prove that the spectrum of a Cayley graph over a finite group with a normal generating set S containing with every its element s all generators of the cyclic group 〈s〉 is integral. In particular, a Cayley graph of a 2-group generated by a normal set of involutions is integral. We prove that a Cayley graph over the symmetric group of degree n no less than 2 generated by all transpositions is integral. We find the spectrum of a Cayley graph over the alternating group of degree n no less than 4 with a generating set of 3-cycles of the form (k i j) with fixed k, as {−n+1, 1−n+1, 22 −n+1, …, (n−1)2 −n+1}.

In this note a number of compactifications are discussed within the class of artinian rings. In [1] the following was proved:Theorem. For an artinian ring R the following are equivalent:(1) R is equationally compact.(2) R+ ≃ B ⊕ P, where B is a finite group, P is a finite direct sum of Prüfer groups, and R · P = P · R = {0}.(3) R is a retract of a compact topological ring.
