Maximal Ideals in Modular Group Algebras of the Finitary Symmetric and Alternating Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The main result of the paper is a description of the maximal ideals in the modular group algebras of the finitary symmetric and alternating groups (provided the characteristic p of the ground field is greater than 2). For the symmetric group there are exactly p − 1 such ideals and for the alternating group there are (p − 1)/2 of them. The description is obtained in terms of the annihilators of certain systems of the ‘completely splittable’ irreducible modular representations of the finite symmetric and alternating groups. The main tools used in the proofs are the modular branching rules (obtained earlier by the second author) and the ‘Mullineux conjecture’ proved recently by FordKleshchev and Bessenrodt-Olsson. The results obtained are relevant to the theory of PI-algebras. They are used in a later paper by the authors and A. E. Zalesskii on almost simple group algebras and asymptotic properties of modular representations of symmetric groups.

New Results on Ideals in $MV$-algebras
In the present paper, by considering the notion of ideals in $MV$-algebras, we study some kinds of ideals in $MV$-algebras and obtain some results on them. For example, we present definition of ultra ideal in $MV$-algebras, and we get some results on it. In fact, by definition of ultra ideals, we present new conditions to have prime ideals, positive implicative ideals and maximal ideals in $MV$...
متن کاملAsymptotic Results on Modular Representations of Symmetric Groups and Almost Simple Modular Group Algebras
In fact, this is a question about infinite simple groups because it is easy for G finite, and because a non-trivial normal subgroup gives rise to a non-trivial ideal different from the augmentation ideal. Also note that the problem reduces easily to the question on when the augmentation ideal is simple as a ring. The first interesting class of groups with almost simple FG was discovered in [3]....
متن کاملConjugacy growth series for wreath product finitary symmetric groups
In recent work, Bacher and de la Harpe define and study conjugacy growth series for finitary permutation groups. In two subsequent papers, Cotron, Dicks, and Fleming study the congruence properties of some of these series. We define a new family of conjugacy growth series for the finitary alternating wreath product that are related to sums of modular forms of integer and half-integral weights, ...
متن کاملThe Group of Endotrivial Modules for the Symmetric and Alternating Groups
We complete a classification of the groups of endotrivial modules for the modular group algebras of symmetric groups and alternating groups. We show that, for n p2, the torsion subgroup of the group of endotrivial modules for the symmetric groups is generated by the sign representation. The torsion subgroup is trivial for the alternating groups. The torsion-free part of the group is free abelia...
متن کاملRadical of $cdot$-ideals in $PMV$-algebras
In this paper, we introduce the notion of the radical of a $PMV$-algebra $A$ and we charactrize radical $A$ via elements of $A$. Also, we introduce the notion of the radical of a $cdot$-ideal in $PMV$-algebras. Several characterizations of this radical is given. We define the notion of a semimaximal $cdot$-ideal in a $PMV$-algebra. Finally we show that $A/I$ has no nilpotent elemen...
