It is known that the norm map N_G for a finite group G acting on a ring R is surjective if and only if for every elementary abelian subgroup E of G the norm map N_E for E is surjective. Equivalently, there exists an element x_G in R with…

We give a formula for the determinant of an $n\times n$ matrix with entries from a commutative ring with unit. The formula can be evaluated by a "straight-line program" performing only additions, subtractions and multiplications of ring…

We give a description of the kernel of the induction map K_0(R)->K_0(S), where S is a commutative ring and R is the ring of invariants of the action of a finite group G on S. The description is in terms of H^1(G,GL(S)).

In this paper, we study partial actions of groups on $R$-algebras, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We describe the partial actions of groups on the indecomposable algebras with enveloping actions. Then we work on algebras that can be…

A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…

Let $KG$ be the group ring of a group $G$ over a commutative ring $K$ with unity. The rings $KG$ are described for which $xx^\sigma=x^\sigma x$ for all $x=\sum_{g\in G}\alpha_gg\in KG$, where \quad $x\mapsto x^\sigma=~\sum_{g\in…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\mathbf{K}_p$ denote the completion at $p$ of the complex $K$-theory spectrum. $\mathbf{K}_p$ is a commutative ring spectrum that in some ways is very similar to the usual ring $\mathbf{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic…

Let $k = \mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (or finite extensions of these). Let $G$ be a $p$-valuable group, and form its completed group algebra $kG$. By analysing the conjugation action of $G$ on itself, we prove two structural results.…

Consider a finite group $G$ acting on a graded Noetherian $k$-algebra $S$, for some field $k$ of characteristic $p$; for example $S$ might be a polynomial ring. Regard $S$ as a $kG$-module and consider the multiplicity of a particular…

Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of K\otimes pp_k(G),…

We introduce the notion of commuting probability, $p(G)$, for an algebraic group $G$. This notion is inspired by the corresponding notions in finite groups and compact groups. The computation of $p(G)$ for reductive groups is readily done…

When a cyclic group G of prime order acts on a 4-manifold X, we prove a formula which relates the Seiberg-Witten invariants of X to those of X/G.

In the present paper, we investigate the commutativity of quotient ring $R/P$ where $R$ is any ring and $P$ is a prime ideal of $R$ which admits generalized derivations are satisfying some algebraic identities acting on prime ideals $P$.

This paper is an attempt to find out which properties of a finite group G can be expressed in terms of commutators of elements of coprime orders. A criterion of solubility of G in terms of such commutators is obtained. We also conjecture…

We consider a purely algebraic result. Then given a circle or cyclic group of prime order action on a manifold, we will use it to estimate the lower bound of the number of fixed points. We also give an obstruction to the existence of…

Let a group $A$ act on the group $G$ coprimely. Suppose that the order of the fixed point subgroup $C_G(A)$ is not divisible by an arbitrary but fixed prime $p$. In the present paper we determine bounds for the $p$-length of the group $G$…

Let $R$ be a ring and $P$ a prime ideal of $R.$ In this paper, we establish some commutativity criteria for the factor ring $R/P$ in terms of derivations of $R$ satisfying some algebraic identities involving a new kind of involution in…

This paper introduces and studies the higher-order group inverse in a ring. We extend known properties of the higher-order group inverse from complex matrices to elements of a ring and, in the process, derive new results. We further…

A group action on the input ring or category induces an action on the algebraic $K$-theory spectrum. However, a shortcoming of this naive approach to equivariant algebraic $K$-theory is, for example, that the map of spectra with $G$-action…

If X is a groupoid equipped with an action of a 2-group G then one has a 2-groupoid X/G. We describe the fibers of the functor from X/G to the 1-groupoid $\pi_0(X)/\pi_0(G)$. We also give an explicit model for X/G in a certain situation.
