Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$. The Modular Isomorphism Problem (MIP) asks whether the group algebra $KG$ determines the group $G$. Dealing with MIP, we investigated a question…

A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p, let R be either a group algebra K[G] or a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), and let I be the augmentation ideal of R. We first characterize those R for which I satisfies a polynomial identity…

Given an ample, Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$, and a unital commutative ring $R$, we consider the Steinberg algebra $A_R(\mathcal {G})$. First we prove a uniqueness theorem for this algebra and then, when $\mathcal{G}$ is graded by a…

We consider the category of smooth $W(k)[GL_n(F)]$-modules, where F is a p-adic field and k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic l different from p. We describe a factorization of this category into blocks, and show that the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. Assume that there exists a prime $q$ dividing $|G|$ which does not divide the order of any $p$-local subgroup of $G$. If $G$ is $p$-solvable or $q$ divides $p-1$, then $G$ has a $p$-block of…

Let $K$ be a normal subgroup of the finite group $H$. To a block of a $K$-interior $H$-algebra we associate a group extension, and we prove that this extension is isomorphic to an extension associated to a block given by the Brauer…

In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…

We show that the right ideal of a Novikov algebra generated by the square of a right nilpotent subalgebra is nilpotent. We also prove that a $G$-graded Novikov algebra $N$ over a field $K$ with solvable $0$-component $N_0$ is solvable,…

The genus gen(D) of a finite-dimensional central division algebra D over a field F is defined as the collection of classes [D'] in the Brauer group Br(F), where D' is a central division F-algebra having the same maximal subfields as D. For…

A universal coefficient theorem in the setting of Kirchberg's ideal-related KK-theory was obtained in the fundamental case of a C*-algebra with one specified ideal by Bonkat and proved there to split, unnaturally, under certain conditions.…

The class of AD algebras of real rank zero is classified by an exact sequence of K-groups with coefficients, equipped with certain order structures. Such a sequence is always split, and one may ask why, then, the middle group is relevant…

We give a complete classification of the ideals of the core of the C*-algebras associated with self-similar maps under a certain condition. Any ideal is completely determined by the intersection with the coefficient algebra C(K) of the…

We compute an exact formula for the order of the class of the identity in the K_0 group of an infinite class of two-dimensional Kuntz-Crieger algebras.

We give a thorough structural analysis of the principal one-sided ideals of arbitrary semigroups, and then apply this to full transformation semigroups and symmetric inverse monoids. One-sided ideals of these semigroups naturally occur as…

Let $(G, \Lambda)$ be a self-similar $k$-graph with a possibly infinite vertex set $\Lambda^0$. We associate a universal C*-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{G,\Lambda}$ to $(G,\Lambda)$. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the ideal…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and let $\mathcal{O}$ be either $k$ or its ring of Witt vectors $W(k)$. Let $G$ a finite group and $B$ a block of $\mathcal{O}G$ with normal abelian defect group and abelian…

We introduce a notion of approximate ideal structure for a $C^*$-algebra, and use it as a tool to study $K$-theory groups. The notion is motivated by the classical Mayer-Vietoris sequence, by the theory of nuclear dimension as introduced by…

We show that group algebras kG of polycyclic-by-finite groups G, where k is a field, are catenary: Given prime ideals P and P' of kG, with P contained in P', all saturated chains of primes between P and P' have the same length.

We study the Loewy structure of the centralizer algebra kP^Q for P a p-group with subgroup Q and k a field of characteristic p. Here kP^Q is a special type of Hecke algebra. The main tool we employ is the decomposition of kP^Q as a split…
