Let G be a finite nonabelian p-group and F a field of characteristic p and let [Formula: see text] be the subalgebra spanned by class sums [Formula: see text], where C runs over all conjugacy classes of noncentral elements of G. We show that all finite p-groups are subgroups and homomorphic images of p-groups for which [Formula: see text]. We also give the description of abelian-by-cyclic groups for which [Formula: see text] is an algebra with zero multiplication or is nil of index 2.

Let 𝔽qD2N be the group algebra of D2N, the dihedral group of order 2N, over 𝔽q = GF (q). In this paper, we compute the order of the unitary subgroup of the group of units of 𝔽2kD2N with respect to the canonical involution ∗.

Let KG be the modular group algebra of a group G over a field K of characteristic p > 0. The classification of group algebras KG with upper Lie nilpotency index tL(KG) greater than or equal to |G′| – 13p + 14 have already been done. In this paper, our aim is to classify the group algebras KG for which tL(KG) = |G′| – 14p + 15.

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p and KG the group algebra of a group G. It is known that if KG is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most |G′| + 1, where |G′| is the order of the commutator subgroup. The class of groups G for which these indices are maximal or almost maximal has already been determined. Here we determine G for which upper (or lower) Lie nilpotency index is the next highest possible.
