In this note relations between the structure of a finite group G and ringtheoretical properties of the group algebra FG over a field F with characteristic p > 0 are investigated. Denoting by J(R) the Jacobson radical and by Z(R) the centre of the ring R, our aim is to prove the following theorem generalizing results of Wallace [10] and Spiegel [9]:Theorem. Let G be a finite group and let F be an arbitrary field of characteristic p > 0. Denoting by BL the principal block ideal of the group algebra FG the following statements are equivalent:(i) J(B1) ≤ Z(B1)(ii) J(B1)is commutative,(iii) G is p-nilpotent with abelian Sylowp-subgroups.

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.

This paper contains a new proof of a theorem of D. A. R. Wallace [5] in case of a p-solvable group. An alternative proof has been given by K. Motose [4].Let G be a finite group, F a field with prime characteristic p, P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. JFG will denote the Jacobson radical of FG.

Over a field of characteristic p>0 the group algebra of a finite group has a unique maximal nilpotent ideal, the Jacobson radical of the algebra. The powers of the radical form a decreasing and ultimately vanishing series of ideals and it would be of interest to determine the least vanishing power. Apart from the work of Jennings (3) on p-groups little is known in general (cf. (5)) about this particular power of the radical (cf. Remarks of Brauer in (4), p. 144. Problem 15). In this paper we give non-trivial lower bounds for the index of the least vanishing power of the radical when the group is p-soluble. Of the lower bounds we give we show that that lower bound, which is dependent solely on the order of the group, is the best possible such bound and that this bound is invalid if the assumption of p-solubility is omitted.

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.

For a finite group G, let cd(G) be the set of irreducible complex character degrees of G forgetting multiplicities and X1(G) be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of G counting multiplicities. Suppose that p is a prime number. We prove that if G is a finite group such that |G| = |PGL(2,p) |, p ? cd(G) and max(cd(G)) = p+1, then G ? PGL(2,p), SL(2, p) or PSL(2,p) x A, where A is a cyclic group of order (2, p-1). Also, we show that if G is a finite group with X1(G) = X1(PGL(2,pn)), then G ? PGL(2, pn). In particular, this implies that PGL(2, pn) is uniquely determined by the structure of its complex group algebra.

AbstractG. Navarro raised the question of when two vertices of two indecomposable modules over a finite group algebra generate a Sylow p-subgroup. The present note provides a sufficient criterion for this to happen. This generalises a result by Navarro for simple modules over finite p-solvable groups, which is the main motivation for this note.

SynopsisLet J(FG) be the Jacobson radical of the group algebra FG of a finite groupG with a Sylow 3-subgroup which is extra-special of order 27 of exponent 3 over a field F of characteristic 3, and let t(G) be the least positive integer t with J(FG)t = 0. In this paper, we prove that t(G) = 9 if G has a normal subgroup H such that (|G:H|, 3) = 1 and if H is either 3-solvable, SL(3,3) or the Tits simple group 2F4(2)'.

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.
