Abstract

Let KK be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let GG be a group. If the algebra UTnUT_n of n×nn\times n upper triangular matrices over KK is endowed with a GG-grading Γ:UTn=gGAg\Gamma: UT_n=\oplus_{g\in G}A_g we give necessary and sufficient conditions on Γ\Gamma that guarantees the existence of a homogeneous antiautomorphism on AA, i.e., an antiautomorphism φ\varphi satisfying φ(Ag)=Aθ(g)\varphi(A_g)=A_{\theta(g)} for some permutation θ\theta of the support of the grading. It turns out that UTnUT_n admits a homogeneous antiautomorphism if and only if the reflection involution of UTnUT_n is homogeneous. Moreover, we prove that if one homogeneous antiautomorphism of UTnUT_n is defined by the map θ\theta then any other homogeneous antiautomorphism is defined by the same map θ\theta.
