Isomorphism of Modular Group Algebras of p-Mixed Abelian Groups

Let A be a torsion-free abelian group and F a free subgroup of A. We prove that if A/F is a reduced p-group and A/(F + C) is reduced for every p-pure subgroup C of A, then A is free.

Let KG be the group algebra of an abelian group G over a field K of prime characteristic p. Denote by S(KG) the p-component of the group V(KG) of normalized units of KG (of augmentation 1). Let H be an arbitrary group and KH ? KG as K-algebras. We prove the following. First, assume that G is a splitting group, the p-component G _p of G is simply presented, and the field K is perfect. Then H _p  ? G _p . If, in addition, G is p-mixed, then G _p is a direct factor of S(KG), and G is a direct factor of V(KG), each with the same simply presented complement. Secondly, we introduce a class of special p-mixed abelian groups and prove that, if G belong to this class, then any group basis of the group algebra KG splits. Besides, H is p-mixed and splits. Thirdly, if G is a special p-mixed abelian group and G _p is a reduced totally projective p-group, then H ? G. These results correct some essential inaccuracies and incompleteness in the proofs of results in this direction of Danchev [3-8 Danchev , P. V. ( 1998 ).

Commutative Group Algebras of Cardinality {\cal N} 1

We let FG be the group algebra of an abelian group G over a field F with characteristic p. Also, we define G_p and S(FG) as the groups of all p-primary normed elements in G and FG, respectively. We prove that if G_p is Hausdorff and both F and G have cardinalities not exceeding ₁, then S(FG)/G_p is a direct sum of cyclics. Thus G_p is a direct factor of S(FG), and in particular G is a direct factor of the group of all normalized units V(FG), provided that the torsion part of G is a p-group. This answers a question posed by us in Hokkaido Math. J. (2000). Moreover we establish that if G is p-splitting, then any F-isomorphism of the group algebras FG and FH implies that H is p-splitting. We also show that if G is of power ₁ whose p-component G_p is a direct sum of torsion-complete groups and F has power p, then the F-isomorphism of FG and FH for any group H yields an isomorphism between G_p and H_p. In particular, when G is of power ₁ and is p-mixed of torsion-free rank 1 whose G_p is torsion-complete, we have G H. If F is in power p and G, with cardinality ₁, is a direct sum of p-local algebraically compact groups such that FG FH as F-algebras for some group H, then G H. These statements extend results due to Beers-Richman-Walker (1983), and also partially solve a well-known question raised by May in 1979.     

Estimating Additive Character Sums for Fuchsian Groups

In the usual construction of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series, for a general Fuchsian group, a multiplicative character may be included. The properties of these series are well known. Here we instead include an additive character and develop the properties of the resulting series. We pay particular attention to additive characters that are non-cuspidal, i.e., that are not zero on some parabolic generators. These series may be used to estimate certain additive character sums. For example, asymptotics for a weighted sum over group elements that counts the number of appearances of a fixed generator of the Fuchsian group are obtained.     

The Subgroups of Direct Products of Surface Groups

A subgroup of a product of n surface groups is of type FP _n if and only if it contains a subgroup of finite index that is itself a product of (at most n) surface groups.     

The Derivation Problem for Group Algebras of Connected Locally Compact Groups

The derivation problem for a locally compact group G is to decidewhether for each derivation D from L¹(G) into L¹(G) there isa bounded measure µM(G) with D(a) = aµ–µa(a L¹(G)). In this paper we obtain an affirmative answer forthe case of connected groups. To explain the contents of thispaper we give an equivalent formulation of the problem. Supposethat the group G acts as a group of homeomorphisms of the locallycompact space X. Related to this there is an action of G onM(X). A bounded crossed homomorphism from G to M(X) is a map with bounded range and satisfying (gh) = g(h)+(g) (g, h G).The problem for bounded crossed homomorphisms is to decide iffor each such there is an element µ of M(X) with (g)= gµ– µ (g G). The derivation problem isequivalent to this bounded crossed homomorphism problem forthe special case X = G where G acts on X by conjugation (togetherwith some mild continuity hypotheses about the map :GM(X) whichare often automatically satisfied). The bounded crossed homomorphismproblem always has a positive solution if G is amenable anda closely related calculation shows that in solving the boundedcrossed homomorphism problem we need only solve it for functions which are zero on H where H is a given amenable subgroup ofG. It can happen that this condition of being zero on H forces to be zero even when H is a comparatively small subgroup ofG. If h is an element of G such that ‘hⁿx ’ asn for all x X then for any two measures µ and , forlarge values of n, µ and hⁿ have little overlap so ||µ+ hⁿ|| ||µ|| + ||||. Thus if H is the subgroup generatedby h, for any g G .     

Isomorphic Commutative Group Algebras of p-Mixed Warfield Groups

Let G be a p-mixed Warfield Abelian group and F a field of char F = p ≠ 0. It is proved that if for any group H the group algebras FH and FG are F-isomorphic, then H is isomorphic to G. This presentation enlarges a result of W. May argued when G is p-local Warfield Abelian and published in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. （1988）.     

Local Subgroups and Group Algebras of Finite p-Solvable Groups

Let p be a prime, k an algebraically closed field ofcharacteristic p, and G a finite group with a Sylowp-Subgroup P. In this paper, we consider the property thatNG(P)/P is Abelian. We provide somenecessary or sufficient conditions NG(P)/P to be Abelian in term of thestructure of the group algebra kG as a k-algebra, in casethat G is p-nilpotent or of p-length 1.     

The k-Orbit Reconstruction for Abelian and Hamiltonian Groups

Let G be a permutation group on a set . Then G acts in the natural way on the collection ^{k} of all k-element subsets. Orbits under this action are called k-orbits. A problem similar to the Edge-Reconstruction Conjecture in graph theory can be posed for k-orbits of a general group G. Here the k-orbit reconstruction problem is solved for transitive Abelian and Hamiltonian groups: all k-orbits of Abelian groups are reconstructible if k>3 and the same is true for Hamiltonian groups if k>4.     

The Rank of a Direct Power of a Small-Cancellation Group

We construct an example of a finitely generated group G such that rank((G )ⁿ)=2 for all n1. For each n, we construct a finitely presented group G _n such that rank((G _n )ⁿ)=2. We conjecture that if G is a word-hyperbolic group then rank(G ⁿ ) as $ n. For each m we give an example of a residually finite group K _m such that K _m has exactly two relators, but K _m has no proper subgroups of index $ m. We construct a finitely generated group D such that there is an epimorphism DD×D.

On the Heyde Theorem for Finite Abelian Groups

It is well-known Heyde's characterization theorem for the Gaussian distribution on the real line: if _j are independent random variables, _j , _j are nonzero constants such that _i ± _j ^–1 _j 0 for all i j and the conditional distribution of L ₂=_{1 1} + ··· + _{n n} given L ₁=_{1 1} + ··· + _{n n} is symmetric, then all random variables _j are Gaussian. We prove some analogs of this theorem, assuming that independent random variables take on values in a finite Abelian group X and the coefficients _j , _j are automorphisms of X.

Conjugacy Classes,Class Sums and Character Tables for Hopf Algebras

We extend the notion of conjugacy classes and class sums from finite groups to semisimple Hopf algebras and show that the conjugacy classes are obtained from the factorization of H as irreducible left D(H)-modules. For quasitriangular semisimple Hopf algebras H, we prove that the product of two class sums is an integral combination of the class sums up to d ^?2 where d = dim H. We show also that in this case the character table is obtained from the S-matrix associated to D(H). Finally, we calculate explicitly the generalized character table of D(kS ₃), which is not a character table for any group. It moreover provides an example of a product of two class sums which is not an integral combination of class sums.

Seminormal Representations of Weyl Groups and Iwahori-Hecke Algebras

The purpose of this paper is to describe a general procedurefor computing analogues of Young's seminormal representationsof the symmetric groups. The method is to generalize the Jucys-Murphyelements in the group algebras of the symmetric groups to arbitraryWeyl groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras. The combinatorics ofthese elements allows one to compute irreducible representationsexplicitly and often very easily. In this paper we do thesecomputations for Weyl groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras of typesA_n, B_n, D_n, G₂. Although these computations are in reach fortypes F₄, E₆ and E₇, we shall postpone this to another work.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 20F55, 20C15;secondary 20C30, 20G05.
