let $cr_{n}(f)$ denote the algebra of $n times n$ circulant matrices over the field $f$. in this paper, we study the unit group of $cr_{n}(f_{p^m})$, where $f_{p^m}$ denotes the galois field of order $p^{m}$, $p$ prime.

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.

let $cr_n(f_p)$ denote the algebra of $n times n$ circulant‎ ‎matrices over $f_p$‎, ‎the finite field of order $p$ a prime‎. ‎the‎ ‎order of the unit groups $mathcal{u}(cr_3(f_p))$‎, ‎$mathcal{u}(cr_4(f_p))$ and $mathcal{u}(cr_5(f_p))$ of algebras of‎ ‎circulant matrices over $f_p$ are computed‎.

for any given finite abelian group‎, ‎we give factorizations of the group determinant in the group algebra of any subgroups‎. ‎the factorizations is an extension of dedekind's theorem‎. ‎the extension leads to a generalization of dedekind's theorem‎.

we consider a 2-dimensional representation of the hecke algebra h(g7; u), whereg7 is the complex re ection group and u is the set of indeterminatesu = (x1; x2; y1; y2; y3; z1; z2; z3):after specializing the indetrminates to non zero complex numbers, we then determine a nec-essary and sucient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the complex specializationof the representation of the ...
