Explicit determination of certain minimal constabelian codes

Constabelian codes can be viewed as ideals in twisted group algebras over finite fields. In this paper we study decomposition of semisimple twisted group algebras of finite abelian groups and prove results regarding complete determination of a full set of primitive orthogonal idempotents in such algebras. We also explicitly determine complete sets of primitive orthogonal idempotents of twisted group algebras of finite cyclic and abelian p-groups. We also describe methods of determining complete set of primitive idempotents of abelian groups whose orders are divisible by more than one prime and give concrete (numerical) examples of minimal constabelian codes, illustrating the above mentioned results.     

On schur rings over cyclic groups

In this paper, we introduce the notion of wedge product of Schur rings. We show that for any nontrivial Schur ringS over a cyclic groupG, if there is a subgroupH such that Σ _g ε _H g Σ _g∈H g ∉S, thenS is either a dot product or wedge product for some Schur rings over smaller cyclic groups.     

Extending Sets of Idempotents to Ring Extensions

In this paper the idea of an intrinsic extension of a ring, first proposed by Faith and Utumi, is generalized and studied in its own right. For these types of ring extensions, it is shown that, with relatively mild conditions on the base ring, R, a complete set of primitive idempotents (a complete set of left triangulating idempotents, a complete set of centrally primitive idempotents) can be constructed for an intrinsic extension, T, from a corresponding set in the base ring R. Examples and applications are given for rings that occur in functional analysis and group ring theory.     

On p-Schur Rings Over Abelian Groups of Order p 3

In the theory of Schur rings, it is known that every Schur ring over a cyclic p-group is Schurian. Recently, Spiga and Wang showed that every p-Schur ring over an elementary abelian p-group of rank 3 is Schurian. In this paper, we prove that every p-Schur ring over an abelian group of order p ³ is Schurian.     

Universal gradings of orders

For commutative rings, we introduce the notion of a universal grading, which can be viewed as the “largest possible grading”. While not every commutative ring (or order) has a universal grading, we prove that every reduced order has a universal grading, and this grading is by a finite group. Examples of graded orders are provided by group rings of finite abelian groups over rings of integers in number fields. We also generalize known properties of nilpotents, idempotents, and roots of unity in such group rings to the case of graded orders; this has applications to cryptography. Lattices play an important role in this paper; a novel aspect is that our proofs use that the additive group of any reduced order can in a natural way be equipped with a lattice structure.     

Automorphism Groups of Schur Rings

In 1993, Muzychuk [23 Muzychuk , Mikhail E. ( 1993 ). The structure of rational Schur rings over cyclic groups . European Journal of Combinatorics 14 : 479 – 490 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] showed that the rational Schur rings over a cyclic group Z _n are in one-to-one correspondence with sublattices of the divisor lattice of n, or equivalently, with sublattices of the lattice of subgroups of Z _n . This can easily be extended to show that for any finite group G, sublattices of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of G give rise to rational Schur rings over G in a natural way. Our main result is that any finite group may be represented as the (algebraic) automorphism group of such a rational Schur ring over an abelian p-group, for any odd prime p. In contrast, over a cyclic group the automorphism group of any Schur ring is abelian. We also prove a converse to the well-known result of Muzychuk [24 Muzychuk , Mikhail E. ( 1994 ). On the structure of basic sets of Schur rings over cyclic groups . Journal of Algebra 169 : 655 – 678 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] that two Schur rings over a cyclic group are isomorphic if and only if they coincide; namely, we show that over a group which is not cyclic, there always exist distinct isomorphic Schur rings.     

Minimal But Inefficient Presentations for Self Semidirect Products of the Free Abelian Monoid on Two Generators

Let R be a ring and M(R) the set consisting of zero and primitive idempotents of R. We study the rings R for which M(R) is multiplicative. It is proved that if R has a complete finite set of primitive orthogonal idempotents, then R is a finite direct product of connected rings precisely when M(R) is multiplicative. We prove that if R is a (von Neumann) regular ring with M(R) multiplicative, then every primitive idempotent in R is central. It is also shown that this does not happen even in semihereditary and semiregular rings. Let R be an arbitrary ring with M(R) multiplicative and e ∈ R be a primitive idempotent, then for every unit u ∈ R, it is proved that eue is a unit in eRe. We also prove that if M(R) is multiplicative, then two primitive idempotents e and f in R are conjugates, i.e., f = ueu ^?1 for some u ∈ U(R), if and only if ef ≠ 0.     

The Structure of Schur Rings Over Cyclic Groups of Square-Free Order

We give the complete classification of Schur rings over cyclic groups of square-free order. In this classification we use the topological language originally suggested by Ya. Yu. Golfand. Each Schur ring over Z_n is uniquely determined by a finite topology L on the set of prime divisors of n and by a family {G _P }P L of finite groups satisfying an additional condition.     

Rugged modules: The opposite of flatness

Relative notions of flatness are introduced as a mean to gauge the extent of the flatness of any given module. Every module is thus endowed with a flatness domain and, for every ring, the collection of flatness domains of all of its modules is a lattice with respect to class inclusion. This lattice, the flatness profile of the ring, allows us, in particular, to focus on modules which have a smallest flatness domain (namely, one consisting of all regular modules.) We establish that such modules exist over arbitrary rings and we call them Rugged Modules. Rings all of whose (cyclic) modules are rugged are shown to be precisely the von Neumann regular rings. We consider rings without a flatness middle class (i.e., rings for which modules must be either flat or rugged.) We obtain that, over a right Noetherian ring every left module is rugged or flat if and only if every right module is poor or injective if and only if R = S×T, where S is semisimple Artinian and T is either Morita equivalent to a right PCI-domain, or T is right Artinian whose Jacobson radical properly contains no nonzero ideals. Character modules serve to bridge results about flatness and injectivity profiles; in particular, connections between rugged and poor modules are explored. If R is a ring whose regular left modules are semisimple, then a right module M is rugged if and only if its character left module M⁺ is poor. Rugged Abelian groups are fully characterized and shown to coincide precisely with injectively poor and projectively poor Abelian groups. Also, in order to get a feel for the class of rugged modules over an arbitrary ring, we consider the homological ubiquity of rugged modules in the category of all modules in terms of the feasibility of rugged precovers and covers for arbitrary modules.     

A groupoid approach to discrete inverse semigroup algebras

Let K be a commutative ring with unit and S an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra KS can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal étale groupoid associated to S by Paterson. This result is a simultaneous generalization of the author's earlier work on finite inverse semigroups and Paterson's theorem for the universal C^∗-algebra. It provides a convenient topological framework for understanding the structure of KS, including the center and when it has a unit. In this theory, the role of Gelfand duality is replaced by Stone duality.Using this approach we construct the finite dimensional irreducible representations of an inverse semigroup over an arbitrary field as induced representations from associated groups, generalizing the case of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents. More generally, we describe the irreducible representations of an inverse semigroup S that can be induced from associated groups as precisely those satisfying a certain “finiteness condition.” This “finiteness condition” is satisfied, for instance, by all representations of an inverse semigroup whose image contains a primitive idempotent.     

On the codimension of modules over skew power series rings with applications to Iwasawa algebras

The first purpose of this paper is to set up a general notion of skew power series rings S over a coefficient ring R, which are then studied by filtered ring techniques. The second goal is the investigation of the class of S-modules which are finitely generated as R-modules. In the case that S and R are Auslander regular we show in particular that the codimension of M as S-module is one higher than the codimension of M as R-module. Furthermore its class in the Grothendieck group of S-modules of codimension at most one less vanishes, which is in the spirit of the Gersten conjecture for commutative regular local rings. Finally we apply these results to Iwasawa algebras of p-adic Lie groups.

EXCHANGE MORITA RINGS

In this paper we characterize the largest exchange ideal of a ring R as the set of those elements x ∈ R such that the local ring of R at x is an exchange ring. We use this result to prove that if R and S are two rings for which there is a quasi-acceptable Morita context, then R is an exchange ring if and only if S is an exchange ring, extending an analogue result given previously by Ara and the second and third authors for idempotent rings. We introduce the notion of exchange associative pair and obtain some results connecting the exchange property and the possibility of lifting idempotents modulo left ideals. In particular we obtain that in any exchange ring, orthogonal von Neumann regular elements can be lifted modulo any one-sided ideal.     

Minimal quadratic residue cyclic codes of length 2 n

LetF be a finite field of prime power orderq(odd) and the multiplicative order ofq modulo 2 ⁿ (n>1) be ?(2 ⁿ )/2. Ifn>3, thenq is odd number(prime or prime power) of the form 8m±3. Ifq=8m?3, then the ring $$R_{2^n } = F\left[ x \right]/< x^{2^n } - 1 > $$ has 2n primitive idempotents. The explicit expressions for these primitive idempotents are obtained and the minimal QR cyclic codes of length 2 ⁿ generated by these idempotents are completely described. Ifq=8m+3 then the expressions for the 2n?1 primitive idempotents ofR ₂ ⁿ are obtained. The generating polynomials and the upper bounds of the minimum distance of minimal QR cyclic codes generated by these 2n?1 idempotents are also obtained. The casen=2, 3 is dealt separately.     

A New Look at the Burnside-Schur Theorem

The famous Burnside–Schur theorem states that every primitivefinite permutation group containing a regular cyclic subgroupis either 2-transitive or isomorphic to a subgroup of a 1-dimensionalaffine group of prime degree. It is known that this theoremcan be expressed as a statement on Schur rings over a finitecyclic group. Generalizing the latter, Schur rings are introducedover a finite commutative ring, and an analogue of this statementis proved for them. Also, the finite local commutative ringsare characterized in permutation group terms. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 20B10, 20B15, 05E99.     

Higher-dimensional orders,graph-orders,and derived equivalences

Green-orders (tree-orders) in the classical one-dimensional case are the setting, to understand p-adic blocks with cyclic defect of finite groups. Blocks with “cyclic defect” of Hecke orders however, are Green-orders over two-dimensional rings. Hecke orders of dihedral groups of order divisible by 4 are even defined over a three-dimensional ring. We extend the notion of Green-orders to orders associated to a locally embedded graph instead of a tree, and to general complete regular local noetherian ground rings of finite dimension. We extend the result, that classical tree-orders are derived equivalent to star-orders. We then use these results to clarify the derived equivalence classes of tame algebras of Dihedral type.     

Lifting Central Idempotents Modulo Jacobson Radicals and Ranks of K 0 Groups

Let R be a ring and let J(R) be the Jacobson radical of R. We discuss the problem of determining when the central idempotents in R/J(R) can be lifted to R. If R is a noetherian (artinian) ring, we give some conditions relative to the ranks of K ₀ groups under which the central idempotents in R/J(R) can be lifted. In particular, when R is semilocal, these conditions are necessary and sufficient. Moreover, we consider ranks of K ₀ groups of pullbacks of rings and obtain the upper and lower bounds on them under some suitable conditions.     

On the lattice of matric-extensible radicals

A radical α in the universal class of associative rings is called matric-extensible if α (R _n) = (α (R))_n for any ring R, and natural number n, where R _n denotes the nxn matrix ring with entries from R. We investigate matric-extensibility of the lower radical determined by a simple ring S. This enables us to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the lower radical determined by S to be an atom in the lattice of hereditary matric-extensible radicals. We also show that this lattice has atoms which are not of this form. We then describe all atoms of the lattice, and show that it is atomic.
