Integral group ring of Rudvalis simple group

Using the Luthar–Passi method, we investigate the classical Zassenhaus conjecture for the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of the Rudvalis sporadic simple group Ru . As a consequence, for this group we confirm the Kimmerle conjecture on prime graphs. Published in Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 61, No. 1, pp. 3–13, January, 2009.     

The equivariant Brauer group of a group

We consider the Brauer group of a group (finite or infinite) over a commutative ring with identity. A split exact sequence

is obtained. This generalizes the Fröhlich-Wall exact sequence from the case of a field to the case of a commutative ring, and generalizes the Picco-Platzeck exact sequence from the finite case of to the infinite case of . Here is the Brauer-Taylor group of Azumaya algebras (not necessarily with unit). The method developed in this paper might provide a key to computing the equivariant Brauer group of an infinite quantum group.

     

A group in a group

1. In an Abelian group, a module, or more generally a one-based group H, the only definable groups are the obvious ones: if G is interpretable in H, then it has a definable subgroup of finite index which is definably isomorphic to a quotient A/B, where A and B are definable subgroups of a Cartesian power of H. 2. In such a group the introduction of those quotient groups weakly eliminates imaginary elements. More generally, for a stable theory the existence of canonical real bases for complete types implies the elimination of imaginary elements. 3. A group which is interpretable in a one-based structure is one-based. The property of being one-based is preserved by interpretation for theories of finite rank but not in general.Translated from French.Translated from Algebra i Logika, No. 3, pp. 368–378, May–June, 1990.     

The automorphism group of the augmented equiaffine group

The automorphism group of the group generated by all the affine reflections in a Desarguesian plane is isomorphic to the full collineation group of the plane.The author wishes to express his thanks to J. Wilker of the University of Toronto for suggesting a simplification and to him as well as C. Fisher of the University of Regina for their encouragement.     

The permutation class group of a finite group

Analogously to the projective class group, the permutation class group of a finite group π can be defined as the group of equivalence classes of direct summands of integral permutation modules modulo permutation modules. It is shown that this group behaves nicely with respect to localization and completion, which then is used to prove that contrary to the projective class group - it is not always a torsion group. More precisely, the rank of the permutation class of group is computed.     

The group algebra of the infinite symmetric group

The rational group algebra of the infinite symmetric group is studied using Young diagrams. Maximal and prime ideals are characterized and the maximal condition on ideals is proved. Research supported by the National Research Council of Canada.

Nilpotency of the multiplicative group of a group ring

It is proven that if K is a commutative ring of characteristic p^m while group G contains p-elements, then the multiplicative group UKG of group ring KG is nilpotent if and only if G is nilpotent and its commutant G is a finite p-group. Those group algebras KG are described for which the nilpotency classes of groups G and UKG coincide.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 191–200, February, 1972.In conclusion, the author wishes to express her gratitude to A. A. Bovdi for his scientific direction.

Existence of a normal complement of a group in the multiplicative group of its group ring

Suppose G is the adjoint group of a locally nilpotent algebra over a ring K of characteristic 0 without zero-divisors. If the orders of the elements of G are not invertible in K, then the normalized multiplicative group of the group ring KG is a semidirect product of the torsion-free congruence subgroup and G.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, Nos. 7–8, pp. 884–889, July–August, 1991.     

Arithmetic of a group of points of a formal group

For a formal group of finite height over a non-ramified extension of a ring of p-adic integers we construct a system of generators of a formal module that is the generalization of the canonic Shafarevich basis and the system of Henniart generators for Lubin — Tate groups.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
