Let \(G\) be a finite group, let \(\mathbb{C}G\) be the complex group algebra of \(G\), and let \(p \in \mathbb{C}G\). In this paper, we show how to construct submodules\(S\) of \(\mathbb{C}G\) of a fixed dimension with the property that the orthogonal projection of \(p\) onto \(S\) has maximal length. We then provide an example of how such submodules for the symmetric group \(S_n\) can be used to create new linear rank tests of uniformity in statistics for survey data that arises when respondents are asked to give a complete ranking of \(n\) items.

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.

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.

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)'.

A Finite Group

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].

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 K be a field. The Schur subgroup, S(K), of the Brauer group, B(K), consists of all classes [△] in B(K) some representative of which is a simple component of one of the semi-simple group algebras, KG, where G is a finite group such that char K ∤ G. Yamada ([11], p. 46) has characterized S(K) for all finite extensions of the p-adic number field, Qp. If p is odd, [△] ∈ S(K) if and only ifwhere c is the tame ramification index of k/Qp, k the maximal cyclotomic subfield of K, and s = ((p – 1)/c, [K : k]). invp △ is the Hasse invariant. Yamada showed this by proving first that S(K) is the group of classes containing cyclotomic algebras and then determining the invariants of such algebras.

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.

The quantum double construction is applied to the group algebra of a finite group. Such algebras are shown to be semi-simple and a complete theory of characters is developed. The irreducible matrix representations are classified and applied to the explicit construction of R-matrices: this affords solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation associated with certain induced representations of a finite group. These results are applied in the second paper of the series to construct unitary representations of the Braid group and corresponding link polynomials.
