Products of Unipotent Elements in Certain Algebras
Abstract
Let be a field with at least three elements and a locally finite group. This paper aims to show that if either is algebraically closed or the characteristic of is positive, then an element in the group algebra is a product of unipotent elements if, and only if, it? lies in the first derived subgroup of the unit group of . In addition, it? is a product of at most three unipotent elements. Moreover, we explore some crucial properties satisfied by certain algebras like the connection between unipotent elements of index 2 and commutators as well as we investigate the unipotent radical of a group algebra by showing that the group algebra of a finite group over an infinite field cannot have a unipotent maximal subgroup. In particular, we apply these results to twisted group algebras.
