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.

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 be a finite group, a field. A twisted group algebra A() on over is an associative algebra whose elements are the formal linear combinations and in which the product (A)(B) is a non-zero multiple of (AB), where AB is the group product of A, B ∈: . One gets the ordinary group algebra () by taking each fA, B ≠ 1.

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.

Given a partial action α of a group G on the group algebra FH, where H is a finite group and F is a field whose characteristic p divides the order of H, we investigate the associativity question of the partial crossed product FH *α G. If FH *α G is associative for any G and any α, then FH is called strongly associative. We characterize the strongly associative modular group algebras FH with H being a p-solvable group.

An explicit expression for the primitive central idempotent of the rational group algebra ℚ[G] of a finite group G associated with any complex irreducible character of G is obtained. A complete set of primitive central idempotents and the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of a finite metabelian group is also computed.

Special Case

Over a field of characteristic p the group algebra of a finite group has a non-trivial radical if and only if the order of the group is divisible by the prime p. It would be of interest to determine the powers of the radical in the non-semi-simple case [2, p. 61]. In the particular case of p-groups the solution to the problem is known through the work of Jennings [6]. We here consider the special case of group algebras whose radicals have square zero and we relate this condition to the structure of the group itself.

AbstractWe give an explicit approach for Bockstein homomorphisms of the Hochschild cohomology of a group algebra and of a block algebra of a finite group and we show some properties. To give explicit definitions for these maps we use an additive decomposition and a product formula for the Hochschild cohomology of group algebras given by Siegel and Witherspoon in 1999.

Abstract H. J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation 1 in the integral group ring {\mathbb{Z}G} of a finite group G is conjugate in the rational group algebra {\mathbb{Q}G} to an element of G. We prove the Zassenhaus conjecture for the groups {\mathrm{SL}(2,p)} and {\mathrm{SL}(2,p^{2})} with p a prime number. This is the first infinite family of non-solvable groups for which the Zassenhaus conjecture has been proved. We also prove that if {G=\mathrm{SL}(2,p^{f})} , with f arbitrary and u is a torsion unit of {\mathbb{Z}G} with augmentation 1 and order coprime with p, then u is conjugate in {\mathbb{Q}G} to an element of G. By known results, this reduces the proof of the Zassenhaus conjecture for these groups to proving that every unit of {\mathbb{Z}G} of order a multiple of p and augmentation 1 has order actually equal to p.

Abstract Let $R$ be the skew group algebra of a finite group acting on the path algebra of a quiver. This article develops both theoretical and practical methods to do computations in the Morita-reduced algebra associated to $R$. Reiten and Riedtmann proved that there exists an idempotent $e$ of $R$ such that the algebra $eRe$ is both Morita equivalent to $R$ and isomorphic to the path algebra of some quiver, which was described by Demonet. This article gives explicit formulas for the decomposition of any element of $eRe$ as a linear combination of paths in the quiver described by Demonet. This is done by expressing appropriate compositions and pairings in a suitable monoidal category, which takes into account the representation theory of the finite group.
