Abstract

Let RR be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field FF graded by an arbitrary group GG. We prove that RR is a graded division algebra if and only if it is isomorphic to a twisted group algebra of some finite subgroup of GG. If the characteristic of FF is zero or charF{\rm char} F does not divide the order of any finite subgroup of GG then we prove that RR is graded simple if and only if it is a matrix algebra over a finite-dimensional graded division algebra.
