We characterize the unit group for the group algebras of non-metabelian groups of order 128 over the finite fields whose characteristic does not divide the order of the group. Up to isomorphism, there are 2328 groups of order 128 and only 14 of them are non-metabelian. We determine the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebras of these non-metabelian groups and subsequently characterize their unit groups.
In this paper, we determine all the normal forms of Hermitian matrices over finite group rings , where , is a commutative -group with order . Furthermore, using the normal forms of Hermitian matrices, we study the structure of unitary group over through investigating its BN-pair and order. As an application, we construct a Cartesian authentication code and compute its size parameters.
This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for subgroups with trivial core to be of odd depth. We show that a subgroup with trivial core is an odd depth subgroup if and only if certain induced modules from it are faithful. Algebraically this gives a combinatorial condition that has to be satisfied by the subgroups with trivial core in order to be subgroups of a given odd depth. The condition can be expressed as a certain matrix with -entries to have maximal rank. The entries of the matrix...
We study the inverse problem of the determination of a group algebra from the knowledge of its Wedderburn decomposition. We show that a certain class of matrix rings always occur as summands of finite group algebras.
