We prove that if two finite metacyclic groups have isomorphic rational group algebras, then they are isomorphic. This contributes to understand where is the line separating positive and negative solutions to the Isomorphism Problem for…

Let $\Gamma_G$ denote a graph associated with a group $G$. A compelling question about finite groups asks whether or not a finite group $H$ must be nilpotent provided $\Gamma_H$ is isomorphic to $\Gamma_G$ for a finite nilpotent group $G$.…

If $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated residually nilpotent groups, then $G$ and $H$ are in the same nilpotent genus if they have the same lower central quotients (up to isomorphism). A stronger condition is that $H$ is para-$G$ if there…

We show that the modular isomorphism problem has a positive answer for groups of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic center, i.e. that for such p-groups G and H an isomorphism between the group algebras FG and FH implies an isomorphism of the…

For a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ of $G$ this article discusses the normalizer of $H$ in the units of a group ring $RG$. We prove that $H$ is only normalized by the `obvious' units, namely products of elements of $G$ normalizing $H$ and…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH of coprime order with cyclic kernel F and complement H such that the fixed point subgroup $C_G(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of class $c$. It is proved that…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

We give a geometric characterization of finite rational groups. In particular, we prove that a finite group is rational if and only if there exists a finite geometry $\Gamma$ of type $I$ and action of $G$ on $\Gamma$ as a group of…

Counterexamples to the Modular Isomorphism Problem were discovered recently. These are non-isomorphic finite $2$-groups $G$ and $H$ that have isomorphic group algebras over the field $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ and non-isomorphic group…

We continue our investigation of a variation of the group ring isomorphism problem for twisted group algebras. Contrary to previous work, we include cohomology classes which do not contain any cocycle of finite order. This allows us to…

A group $G$ with conjugation operation is a rack. We call such racks \emph{group racks}. In this paper we study finite group racks via their subrack lattices. Heckenberger, Shareshian, and Welker proved that the isomorphism type of the…

We introduce a procedure based on computational algebraic geometry to determine whether two algebras are isomorphic. We then apply it to show that if $R$ is a commutative unital ring in which $2$ is not invertible, $G$ is a group of order…

Let $R$ be a finite unital commutative ring. We introduce a new class of finite groups, which we call hereditary groups over $R$. Our main result states that if $G$ is a hereditary group over $R$ then a unital algebra isomorphism between…

We prove that if $G$ is finite 2-generated $p$-group of nilpotence class at most 2 then the group algebra of $G$ with coefficients in the field with $p$ elements determines $G$ up to isomorphisms.

Let P be a finite metacyclic 2-group and F a fusion system on P. We prove that F is nilpotent unless P has maximal class or P is homocyclic, i.e. P is a direct product of two isomorphic cyclic groups. As a consequence we obtain the…

If G and H are finitely generated, residually nilpotent metabelian groups, H is termed para-G if there is a homomorphism of G into H which induces an isomorphism between the corresponding terms of their lower central quotient groups. We…

We provide an explicit construction for a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of finite group algebras over nilpotent groups. Furthermore, we give a complete set of matrix units in each simple epimorphic image of a finite group…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…

The Subgroup Isomorphism Problem for Integral Group Rings asks for which finite groups U it is true that if U is isomorphic to a subgroup of V(ZG), the group of normalized units of the integral group ring of the finite group G, it must be…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\alpha$. Let $J_G(\alpha)$ denote the set of all commutators $[x,\alpha]$, where $x$ belongs to an $\alpha$-invariant Sylow subgroup of $G$. We show that $[G,\alpha]$ is soluble or…
