Abstract

We show that the group algebras C[SL3(F3[t]/(t3))]\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_3(\mathbb{F}_3[t]/(t^3))] and C[SL3(Z/27)]\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z}/27)] are not isomorphic, as well as C[SL4(F2[t]/(t3))]\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_4(\mathbb{F}_2[t]/(t^3))] and C[SL4(Z/8)]\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_4(\mathbb{Z}/8)], by computing the number of conjugacy classes in those groups using MAGMA's calculator. Similarly, we reproduce special cases of a recent result by Hassain and Singla, showing that C[SL2(F2[t]/(tk))]C[SL2(Z/2k)]\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_2[t]/(t^k))]\ncong\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/2^k)] for 3k83\leq k\leq 8.
