We present a complete list of groups $G$ and fields $F$ for which: (i) the group of normalized units $V(FG)$ of the group algebra $FG$ is locally nilpotent; (ii) the set of nontrivial nilpotent elements of $FG$ is finite and nonempty, and $V(FG)$ is an Engel group.

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ and $G$ any group. In this article, the Engel property of the group of units of the group algebra $FG$ is investigated. We show that if $G$ is locally finite, then ${\mathcal{U}}(FG)$ is an Engel group if and only if $G$ is locally nilpotent and $G^{\prime }$ is a $p$-group. Suppose that the set of nilpotent elements of $FG$ is finite. It is also shown that if $G$ is torsion, then ${\mathcal{U}}(FG)$ is an Engel group if and only if $G^{\prime }$ is a finite $p$-group and $FG$ is Lie Engel, if and only if ${\mathcal{U}}(FG)$ is locally nilpotent. If $G$ is nontorsion but $FG$ is semiprime, we show that the Engel property of ${\mathcal{U}}(FG)$ implies that the set of torsion elements of $G$ forms an abelian normal subgroup of $G$.

In this paper, we prove that the direct product [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are distinct numbers, is uniquely determined by its complex group algebra. Particularly, we show that the direct product [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]’s are distinct odd prime numbers, is uniquely determined by its order and three irreducible character degrees.

Abstract We present new examples of finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over fields of characteristic 2 from braided vector spaces that are not of diagonal type, admit realizations as Yetter–Drinfeld modules over finite abelian groups, and are analogous to Nichols algebras of finite Gelfand–Kirillov dimension in characteristic 0. New finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over fields of characteristic 2 are obtained by bosonization with group algebras of suitable finite abelian groups.

AbstractGroup algebras of symmetric groups and their Hecke algebras are in Schur-Weyl duality with classical and quantised Schur algebras, respectively. Two homological dimensions, the dominant dimension and the global dimension, of the indecomposable summands (blocks) of these Schur algebras S(n, r) and $$S_q(n,r)$$ S q ( n , r ) with $$n \geqslant r$$ n ⩾ r are determined explicitly, using a result on derived invariance in Fang, Hu and Koenig (J Reine Angew Math 770:59–85, 2021).

Let c ≥ 0, d ≥ 2 be integers and be the variety of groups in which every d-generator subgroup is nilpotent of class at most c. N.D. Gupta asked for what values of c and d is it true that is locally nilpotent? We prove that if c ≤ 2d + 2d−1 − 3 then the variety is locally nilpotent and we reduce the question of Gupta about the periodic groups in to the prime power exponent groups in this variety.

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].
