in this paper we initiate the study of real group algebras and investigate some of its aspects.let l1 (g) be a group algebra of a locally compact group g,τ :g →g be a group homeomorphismsuch that τ 2 =τοτ = 1, the identity map, and lp (g,τ ) = { f ∈ lp (g) : fοτ = f } ( p ≥ 1) . in thispaper, among other results, we clarify the structure of lp (g,τ ) and characterize amenability ofl1 (g,τ ) and...

in this paper, we associate canonically a precyclic mod- ule to a regular multiplier hopf algebra endowed with a group-like projection and a modular pair in involution satisfying certain con- dition

In this paper we generalize the notion of an ι-symmetric word, from an antimorphic involution, to an arbitrary involution ι as follows: a nonempty word w is said to be ι-symmetric if w = αβ = ι(βα) for some words α, β . We propose the notion of ιtwin-roots (x, y) of an ι-symmetric wordw. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the ι-twin-roots of an ι-symmetric word, and show that the left fac...

If ∗ : G → G is an involution on the finite group G, then ∗ extends to an involution on the integral group ring Z[G]. In this paper, we consider whether bicyclic units u ∈ Z[G] exist with the property that the group 〈u, u∗〉, generated by u and u∗, is free on the two generators. If this occurs, we say that (u, u∗) is a free bicyclic pair. It turns out that the existence of u depends strongly upo...

An involution or anti-involution is a self-inverse linear mapping. In this paper, we will present two real quaternion matrices, one corresponding to a real quaternion involution and one corresponding to a real quaternion anti-involution. Moreover, properties and geometrical meanings of these matrices will be given as reflections in R^3.

Introduction In this talk all groups are finite (by definition), and all simple groups are non-abelian. Let us first define our terms: an involution in a group G is an element t of order 2, i.e. t = 1 and t 6= 1. Its centralizer CG(t) is the subgroup of elements which commute with it, so CG(t) = {g ∈ G | tg = gt}. It has long been accepted in abstract group theory that the way to study simple g...

Let (G; ) be given. Here G is an algebraic group and an involution in Out(G) determining an inner class of real forms. Fix a Cartan subgroup and a BorelH B G and a set of root vectors fX g. This determines a unique distinguished involution of G mapping to and …xing the pinning (H;B; fX g). Form the extended group G = Go , where = f1; g is the Galois group of C over R, and acts on G by the invol...

We study the involution of the real line induced by the outer automorphism of the extended modular group PGL(2,Z). This ‘modular’ involution is discontinuous at rationals but satisfies a surprising collection of functional equations. It preserves the set of real quadratic irrationals mapping them in a non-obvious way to each other. It commutes with the Galois action on real quadratic irrational...
