When considering the unit group of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] the ring of integers of an abelian number field [Formula: see text] and a finite group [Formula: see text]) certain components in the Wedderburn decomposition of [Formula: see text] cause problems for known generic constructions of units; these components are called exceptional. Exceptional components are divided into two types: type 1 is division rings, type 2 is [Formula: see text]-matrix rings. For exceptional components of type 1 we provide infinite classes of division rings by describing the seven cases of minimal groups (with respect to quotients) having those division rings in their Wedderburn decomposition over [Formula: see text]. We also classify the exceptional components of type 2 appearing in group algebras of a finite group over number fields [Formula: see text] by describing all 58 finite groups [Formula: see text] having a faithful exceptional Wedderburn component of this type in [Formula: see text].

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.

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.

LetGbe a finite group,(ZG) the group of units of the integral group ring ZGand1(ZG) the subgroup of units of augmentation 1. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the problem of describing constructively(ZG) for particular groupsG.This has been done for a small number of groups (see [11] for an excellent survey), and most recently Jespers and Leal [3] described(ZG) for several 2-groups. While the situation is clear for all groups of order less than 16, not all groups of order 16 were discussed in their paper. Our main aim is to complete the description of(ZG) for all groups of order 16. Since the structure of the unit group of abelian groups is very well known (see for example [10]), we are only interested in the non-abelian case.

Let [Formula: see text] be a group, [Formula: see text] a field of characteristic [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] the unit group of the group algebra [Formula: see text]. In this paper, among other results, we show that if either (1) [Formula: see text] satisfies a non-matrix polynomial identity, or (2) [Formula: see text] is locally finite, [Formula: see text] is infinite and [Formula: see text] is an Engel-by-finite group, then the [Formula: see text]-elements of [Formula: see text] form a (normal) subgroup [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is abelian (here, of course, [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text]).

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)'.

<p>A finite group is called exceptional if for a Galois extension of number fields with the Galois groups , the zeta function of between and does not appear in the Brauer-Kuroda relation of the Dedekind zeta functions. Furthermore, a finite group is called very exceptional if its nontrivial subgroups are all exceptional. In this paper,a Nilpotent group is very exceptional if and only if it has a unique subgroup of prime order for each divisor of .</p>

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.
