Complex Group Algebras of Finite Groups : Brauer ’ S Problem 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Brauer’s Problem 1 asks the following: what are the possible complex group algebras of finite groups? It seems that with the present knowledge of representation theory it is not possible to settle this question. The goal of this paper is to announce a partial solution to this problem. We conjecture that if the complex group algebra of a finite group does not have more than a fixed number m of isomorphic summands, then its dimension is bounded in terms of m. We prove that this is true for every finite group if it is true for the symmetric groups.

Characters of Brauer's Centralizer Algebras
Brauer's centralizer algebras are finite dimensional algebras with a distinguished basis. Each Brauer centralizer algebra contains the group algebra of a symmetric group as a subalgebra and the distinguished basis of the Brauer algebra contains the permutations as a subset. In view of this containment it is desirable to generalize as many known facts concerning the group algebra of the symmetri...
متن کاملThe Equivariant Brauer Group of a Group
We consider the Brauer group BM(k, G) of a group G (finite or infinite) over a commutative ring k with identity. A split exact sequence 1 −→ Br′(k) −→ BM′(k, G) −→ Gal(k, G) −→ 1 is obtained. This generalizes the Fröhlich-Wall exact sequence ([7, 8])from the case of a field to the case of a commutative ring, and generalizes the PiccoPlatzeck exact sequence ([13]) from the finite case of G to th...
متن کاملSmarandache algebras and their subgroups
In this paper we define S algebras and show that every finite group can be found in some S algebra. We define and study the S degree of a finite group and determine the S degree of several classes of finite groups such as cyclic groups, elementary abelian $p$-groups, and dihedral groups $D_p$.
متن کاملBurnside-Brauer Theorem for Table Algebras
In the character theory of finite groups the Burnside-Brauer Theorem is a wellknown result which deals with products of characters in finite groups. In this paper, we first define the character products for table algebras and then by observing the relationship between the characters of a table algebra and the characters of its quotient, we provide a condition in which the products of characters...
متن کاملComputing the Wedderburn decomposition of group algebras by the Brauer-Witt theorem
We present an alternative constructive proof of the Brauer–Witt theorem using the so-called strongly monomial characters that gives rise to an algorithm for computing the Wedderburn decomposition of semisimple group algebras of finite groups.
