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 of characteristic p ≠ 2,3 and let G be a finite group. Necessary and sufficient conditions for δ3(U(KG)) = 1, where U(KG) is the unit group of the group algebra KG, are obtained.

AbstractLet KG be a non-commutative strongly Lie solvable group algebra of a group G over a field K of positive characteristic p. In this note we state necessary and sufficient conditions so that the strong Lie derived length of KG assumes its minimal value, namely [log2(p + 1)].

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.

1. The Frattini and Fitting subgroups of a finite group G have been useful subgroups in establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for G to be solvable. In [1, pp. 657-658, Theorem 1], Baer used these subgroups to establish several very interesting equivalent conditions for G to be solvable. One of Baer's conditions is that ϕ(S), the Frattini subgroup of S, is a proper subgroup of F(S), the Fitting subgroup of S, for each subgroup S ≠ 1 of G. Using the Fitting subgroup and generalized Frattini subgroups of certain subgroups of G we provide certain equivalent conditions for G to be a solvable group. One such condition is that F(S) is not a generalized Frattini subgroup of S for each subgroup S ≠ 1 of G. Our results are given in Theorem 1.

We study the semicentre of a group algebra K[G] where K is a field of characteristic zero and G is a polycyclic-by-finite group suchthat Δ(G) is torsion-free abelian. Several properties about the structure of this ring are proved, in particular as to when is the semicentre a UFD. Examples are constructed when this is not the case. We also prove necessary and sufficient conditions for every normal element of K[G] which belongs to K[Δ(G)] to be the product of a unit and a semi-invariant.

Let [Formula: see text] be a subgroup of a finite group [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-normal subgroup of [Formula: see text] if there exists a normal subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-subgroup of [Formula: see text]. In the present paper, we use [Formula: see text]-normality of subgroups to characterize the structure of finite groups, and establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite group to be [Formula: see text]-supersolvable, [Formula: see text]-nilpotent and solvable. Our results extend and improve some recent ones.

We examine PBW deformations of finite group extensions of quantum symmetric algebras, in particular the quantum Drinfeld orbifold algebras defined by the first author. We give a homological interpretation, in terms of Gerstenhaber brackets, of the necessary and sufficient conditions on parameter functions to define a quantum Drinfeld orbifold algebra, thus clarifying the conditions. In case the acting group is trivial, we determine conditions under which such a PBW deformation is a generalized enveloping algebra of a color Lie algebra; our PBW deformations include these algebras as a special case.

AbstractLet G be a finite group, let k be a field and let R be a finite dimensional fully G-graded k-algebra. Also let L be a completely reducible R-module and let P be a projective cover of R. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for P|R1 to be a projective cover of L|R1 in Mod (R1). In particular, this happens if and only if L is R1-projective. Some consequences in finite group representation theory are deduced.

AbstractIn this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the group of units of a group ring of a finite group G over a field K does not contain a free subgroup of rank 2.Some extensions of this results to infinite nilpotent and FC groups are also considered.

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.
