Abstract

Assume FF is a finite field of order pfp^f and qq is an odd prime for which pf1=sqmp^f-1=sq^m, where m1m \ge 1 and (s,q)=1(s,q)=1. In this article, we obtain the order of symmetric and unitary subgroup of the semisimple group algebra FCq.FC_q. Further, for the extension GG of Cq=bC_q = \langle b \rangle by an abelian group AA of order pnp^n with CA(b)={e}C_{A}(b) = \{e\}, we prove that if m>1,m>1, or (s+1)q(s+1) \geq q and 2nf(q1)2n \geq f(q-1), then GG does not have a normal complement in V(FG)V(FG).
