We consider a finite dimensional representation of the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ over a field of characteristic two where $p$ is an odd prime and study the corresponding Hilbert ideal $I_H$. We show that $I_H$ has a universal Gr\" {o}bner…

Let V_* be the normalized unitary subgroup of the modular group algebra FG of a finite p-group G over a finite field F with the classical involution *. We investigate the isomorphism problem for the group V_*, that asks when the group V_*…

In this article, we show the relation between the irreducible idempotents of the cyclic group algebra $\mathbb F_qC_n$ and the central irreducible idempotents of the group algebras $\mathbb F_qD_{2n}$, where $\mathbb F_q$ is a finite field…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

We show that for any finite $p$-group $P$ of rank at least 2 and any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$ the graded center $Z^*(\modbar(kP))$ of the stable module category of finite-dimensional $kP$-modules has infinite…

Which groups can be the group of units in a ring? This open question, posed by L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs in 1960, has been studied by the authors and others with a variety of restrictions on either the class of groups or the class of rings under…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic $p$, and let $D_n$ be the dihedral group of order $2n$ such that $p\mid 2n$. Let $D(kD_n)$ denote the quantum double of the group algebra $kD_n$. In this paper, we describe the…

Let F be a field of characteristic different from $2$, and let $UT_2(F)$ be the algebra of $2\times 2$ upper triangular matrices over $F$. For every involution of the first kind on $UT_2(F)$, we describe the set of all $*$-central…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field, that is, a finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$. Let $D$ be a finite-dimensional central division algebra over $F$ and let $SL_1(D)$ be the group of elements of reduced norm $1$ in $D$. Prasad and Raghunathan…

Let $G$ be a finite group having a normal $p$-subgroup $N$ that contains its centralizer $\text{C}_{G}(N)$, and let $R$ be a $p$-adic ring. It is shown that any finite $p$-group of units of augmentation one in $RG$ which normalizes $N$ is…

We describe those group algebras over fields of characteristic different from 2 whose units symmetric with respect to the classical involution, satisfy some group identity.

In the paper "The Steenrod algebra and its dual", J.Milnor determined the structure of the dual Steenrod algebra which is a graded commutative Hopf algebra of finite type. We consider the affine group scheme $G_p$ represented by the dual…

We show that the full matrix algebra Mat_p(C) is a U-module algebra for U = U_q sl(2), a 2p^3-dimensional quantum sl(2) group at the 2p-th root of unity. Mat_p(C) decomposes into a direct sum of projective U-modules P^+_n with all odd n,…

In this paper we study embeddings of unitriangular groups UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ arising under adjunction of roots. We construct embeddings of UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in UT$_m(\mathbb{F}_p)$, for $n \geq 2$, $m=(n-1)p^s + 1$, $s \in…

The question of existence of a maximal subgroup in the multiplicative group D* of a division algebra D finite dimensional over its center F is investigated. We prove that if D* has no maximal subgroup, then deg(D) is not a power of 2,…

For $p\in [1,\infty)$, we show that every unital $L^p$-operator algebra contains a unique maximal $C^*$-subalgebra, which is always abelian if $p\neq 2$. Using this, we canonically associate to every unital $L^p$-operator algebra $A$ an…

We classify fusion systems $\mathcal{F}$ in which $O_p(\mathcal{F})=\{1\}$, and there are two $\mathrm{Aut}_{\mathcal{F}}(S)$-invariant essential subgroups whose normalizer systems generate $\mathcal{F}$. We employ the amalgam method and,…

Let $p\equiv -q \equiv 5\pmod 8$ be two prime integers. In this paper, we investigate the unit groups of the fields $ L_1 =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q}, \sqrt{-1} )$ and $ L_1^+=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q} )$.…

Suppose that $p$ is a prime, $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a strongly $p$-embedded subgroup in $G$. We consider the possibility that $F^*(H)$ is a simple group of Lie rank 2 defined in characteristic $p$.
