AbstractLet U(KλG) be the group of units of the infinite twisted group algebra KλG over a field K. We describe the FC-centre ΔU of U(KλG) and give a characterization of the groups G and fields K for which U(KλG) = ΔU. In the case of group algebras we obtain the Cliff-Sehgal-Zassenhaus theorem.

Let G be a group and let K be a field. 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 the vector space over K with basis elements ; let α: G ×G → K be a 2-cocycle and define a multiplication on Kt(G) byextending this by linearity to Kt(G) yields an associative algebra. We are interested in information concerning the Jacobson radical of Kt(G), denoted by JKt(G).

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.

Abstract Let G be a group, F a field and FG the corresponding group algebra. We consider an involution on FG which is the linear extension of an involution of G, e.g., {g^{*}=g^{-1}} for {g\in G} . This paper is focused on the characterization of a non-torsion group G provided the group of units {U(FG)} satisfies a {*} -group identity. The torsion case was studied in [7], and when {*} is the classical involution, this problem was solved in the case of symmetric units in [21].

Let KG be the group algebra of a group G over a field K of characteristic p > 0. It is proved that the following statements are equivalent: KG is Lie nilpotent of class ≤ p, KG is strongly Lie nilpotent of class ≤ p and G′ is a central subgroup of order p. Also, if G is nilpotent and G′ is of order pn then KG is strongly Lie nilpotent of class ≤ pn and both U(KG)/ζ(U(KG)) and U(KG)′ are of exponent pn. Here U(KG) is the group of units of KG. As an application it is shown that for all n ≤ p+ 1, γn(L(KG)) = 0 if and only if γn(KG) = 0.

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection (∗-invariant idempotent). In this paper, we consider the group algebras of the dihedral groups [Formula: see text], and the generalized quaternion groups [Formula: see text] with standard involution ∗. For the non-semisimple group algebra case, we characterize the ∗-cleanness of [Formula: see text] with a prime [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a commutative local ring. For the semisimple group algebra case, we investigate when [Formula: see text] is ∗-clean, where [Formula: see text] is the field of rational numbers [Formula: see text] or a finite field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].

AbstractDimension subgroups and Lie dimension subgroups are known to satisfy a ‘universal coefficient decomposition’, i.e. their value with respect to an arbitrary coefficient ring can be described in terms of their values with respect to the ‘universal’ coefficient rings given by the cyclic groups of infinite and prime power order. Here this fact is generalized to much more general types of induced subgroups, notably covering Fox subgroups and relative dimension subgroups with respect to group algebra filtrations induced by arbitrary N-series, as well as certain common generalisations of these which occur in the study of the former. This result relies on an extension of the principal universal coefficient decomposition theorem on polynomial ideals (due to Passi, Parmenter and Seghal), to all additive subgroups of group rings. This is possible by using homological instead of ring theoretical methods.

Let ℚAn be the group algebra of the alternating group over the rationals. By exploiting the theory of Young tableaux, we give an explicit description of the minimal central idempotents of ℚAn. As an application we construct finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the centre of the group of units of ℚAn.

Free Subgroups

In this survey we revise the methods and results on the existence and construction of free groups of units in group rings, with special emphasis in integral group rings over finite groups and group algebras. We also survey results on constructions of free groups generated by elements which are either symmetric or unitary with respect to some involution and other results on which integral group rings have large subgroups which can be constructed with free subgroups and natural group operations.
