Kaplansky's conjecture claims that the Jacobson radical [Formula: see text] of a group algebra K[G], where K is a field of characteristic p > 0, coincides with its augmentation ideal [Formula: see text] if and only if G is a locally finite p-group. By a theorem of Passman, if G is finitely generated and [Formula: see text] then any maximal subgroup of G is normal of index p. In the present paper, we consider one infinite series of finitely generated infinite p-groups (hence not locally finite p-groups), so called GGS-groups. We prove that their maximal subgroups are nonetheless normal of index p. Thus these groups remain among potential counterexamples to Kaplansky's conjecture.

Nilpotent Maximal Subgroup

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.

Powerful Group

Let K be a field of odd characteristic p, and let G be the direct product of a finite p-group P ≠ 1 and a Hamiltonian 2-group. We show that the set of symmetric elements (KG)* of the group algebra KG with respect to the involution of KG which inverts all elements of G, satisfies all Lie commutator identities of degree t(P) or more, where t(P) denotes the nilpotency index of the augmentation ideal of the group algebra KP. In addition, if P is powerful, then (KG)* satisfies no Lie commutator identity of degree less than t(P). Applying this result we get that (KG)* is Lie nilpotent and Lie solvable, and its Lie nilpotency index and Lie derived length are not greater than t(P) and ⌈ log 2 t(P)⌉, respectively, and these bounds are attained whenever P is a powerful group. The corresponding result on the set of symmetric units of KG is also obtained.

A Finite Group

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.

A number of classical theorems of ring theory deal with nilness and nilpotency of the Jacobson radical of various ring constructions (see [10], [18]). Several interesting results of this sort have appeared in the literature recently. In particular, it was proved in [1] that the Jacobson radical of every finitely generated PI-ring is nilpotent. For every commutative semigroup ring RS, it was shown in [11] that if J(R) is nil then J(RS) is nil. This result was generalized to all semigroup algebras satisfying polynomial identities in [15] (see [16, Chapter 21]). Further, it was proved in [12] that, for every normal band B, if J(R) is nilpotent, then J(RB) is nilpotent. A similar result for special band-graded rings was established in [13, Section 6]. Analogous theorems concerning nilpotency and local nilpotency were proved in [2] for rings graded by finite and locally finite semigroups.

Ordinary Quiver

We study the semigroup structure on the set [Formula: see text] of conjugacy classes of left ideals of a finite-dimensional algebra [Formula: see text] over an algebraically closed field [Formula: see text], equipped with the natural multiplication inherited from [Formula: see text], and the structure of the contracted semigroup algebra [Formula: see text]. It is shown that [Formula: see text] has a finite chain of ideals with either nilpotent or completely [Formula: see text]-simple factors with trivial maximal subgroups, so in particular it is locally finite. The ordinary quiver [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is proved to be a subquiver of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] is finite. Moreover, in this case, the structure of [Formula: see text] determines, up to isomorphism, the structure of the algebra [Formula: see text] modulo its Jacobson radical. Combining these results we show that if the semigroup [Formula: see text] is finite, then it determines the structure of any (not necessarily basic) triangular algebra [Formula: see text] which admits a normed presentation.

The Relationship

Let G be a group and let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. 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 a vector space over K with basis elements , …; a multiplication is defined on this basis of Kt(G) and extended by linearity to Kt(G) by lettingwhere α(x, y) is a non-zero element of K, subject to the condition thatwhich is both necessary and sufficient for associativity. If, for all x, y ∈ G, α{x, y) is the identity of K then Kt(G) is the usual group algebra K(G) of G over K. We denote the Jacobson radical of Kt(G) by JKt(G). We are interested in the relationship between JKt(G) and JKt(H) where H is a normal subgroup of G. In § 2 we show, among other results, that if certain centralising conditions are satisfied and if JK(H) is locally nilpotent then JK(H)K(G) is also locally nilpotent and thus contained in JK(G). It is observed that in the absence of some centralising conditions these conclusions are false. We show, in particular, that if H and G/C(H) are locally finite, C(H) being the centraliser of H, and if G/H has no non-trivial elements of order p, then JK(G) coincides with the locally nilpotent ideal JK(H)K(G). The latter, and probably more significant, part of this paper is concerned with particular types of groups. We introduce the notion of a restricted SN-group and show that if G is such a group and if G has no non-trivial elements of order p then JKt(G) = {0}. It is also shown that if G is polycyclic then JKt(G) is nilpotent.

Chevalley Property

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We characterize the finite groups G for which the Drinfeld double D(kG) of the group algebra kG has the Chevalley property. We also show that this is the case if and only if the tensor product of every simple D(kG)-module with its dual is semisimple. The analogous result for the group algebra kG is also true, but its proof requires the classification of the finite simple groups. A further result concerns the largest Hopf ideal contained in the Jacobson radical of D(kG). We prove that this is generated by the augmentation ideal of kOp(Z(G)), where Z(G) is the center of G and Op(Z(G)) the largest p-subgroup of this center.

Small Index

In finite groups maximal subgroups play a very important role. Results in the literature show that if the maximal subgroup has a very small index in the whole group then it influences the structure of the group itself. In this paper we study the case when the index of the maximal subgroups of the groups have a special type of relation with the Fitting subgroup of the group.

AbstractWe study the growth of group endomorphisms, a generalization of the classical notion of growth of finitely generated groups, which is strictly related to algebraic entropy. We prove that the inner automorphisms of a group have the same growth type and the same algebraic entropy as the identity automorphism. Moreover, we show that endomorphisms of locally finite groups cannot have intermediate growth. We also find an example showing that the Addition Theorem for algebraic entropy does not hold for endomorphisms of arbitrary groups.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] an ideal of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] an [Formula: see text]-primary ideal of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module, [Formula: see text] a finitely generated standard graded algebra over [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a finitely generated graded [Formula: see text]-module. We characterize the multiplicity and the Cohen–Macaulayness of the fiber cone [Formula: see text]. As an application, we obtain some results on the multiplicity and the Cohen–Macaulayness of the fiber cone[Formula: see text].
