Derivations of group rings for finite and FC groups

Primitive central idempotents of finite group rings of symmetric groups

Let p be a prime. We denote by Sn the symmetric group of degree n, by An the alternating group of degree n and by Fp the field with p elements. An important concept of modular representation theory of a finite group G is the notion of a block. The blocks are in one-to-one correspondence with block idempotents, which are the primitive central idempotents of the group ring FqG, where q is a prime...

Maximal Quotient Rings and Essential Right Ideals in Group Rings of Locally Finite Groups

MAXIMAL QUOTIENT RINGS AND ESSENTIAL RIGHT IDEALS IN GROUP RINGS OF LOCALLY FINITE GROUPS Theorem . zero . FERRAN CEDÓ * AND BRIAN HARTLEY Dedicated to the memory of Pere Menal Let k be a commutative field . Let G be a locally finite group without elements of order p in case char k = p > 0 . In this paper it is proved that the type I. part of the maximal right quotient ring of the group algebgr...

Linear Groups and Group Rings

This paper consists of two parts. The first is concerned with free products in linear groups and uses the usual “ping pong” lemma and attractors to prove the results. What is new here is that we allow certain subspaces of V associated with the semisimple and generalized transvection operators to have dimensions larger than 1. The second part is concerned with applications of this machinery to i...

Twisted Group Rings Whose Units Form an Fc-group

Let U(KλG) be the group of units of an infinite twisted group algebra KλG over a field K. We describe the maximal FC-subgroup of U(KλG) and give a characterization of U(KλG) with finitely conjugacy classes. In the case of group algebras we obtain the Cliff-Sehgal-Zassenhaus’ theorem.
