Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We calculate the vertices of all indecomposable kD8-modules for the dihedral group D8 of order 8. We also give a conjectural formula of the induced module of a string module from kT0 to kG where G is a dihedral group G of order ≥ 8 and where T0 is a dihedral subgroup of index 2 of G. Some cases where we verified this formula are given.

The only groups for which all indecomposable modules are ‘knowable’ are those with cyclic, dihedral, semidihedral, and quaternion Sylow p-subgroups. The structure of the Green ring for groups with cyclic and V4 Sylow p-subgroups are known, but no others have been determined. Of the remaining groups, the dihedral 2-groups have the simplest module category but yet the tensor products of any two i...

“Escherization” [9] is a process that finds an Escher-like tiling of the plane from tiles that resemble a user-supplied goal shape. We show how the original Escherization algorithm can be adapted to the dihedral case, producing tilings with two distinct shapes. We use a form of the adapted algorithm to create drawings in the style of Escher’s print Sky and Water. Finally, we develop an Escheriz...

let $f_q d_{2n}$ be the group algebra of $d_{2n}$, the dihedral group of order $2n$ over $f_q=gf(q)$. in this paper, we establish the structure of $u(f_{2^k}d_{2n})$, the unit group of $f_{2^k}d_{2n}$ and that of its normalized unitary subgroup $v_*(f_{2^k}d_{2n})$ with respect to canonical involution $*$ when $n$ is odd.

a non-abelian finite group is called sequenceable if for some positive integer , is -generated ( ) and there exist integers such that every element of is a term of the -step generalized fibonacci sequence , , , . a remarkable application of this definition may be find on the study of random covers in the cryptography. the 2-step generalized sequences for the dihedral groups studied for their pe...
