Sylow P-Subgroups of Abelian Group Rings

Danchev, P. (2003)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 20C07, 20K10, 20K20, 20K21; Secondary 16U60, 16S34.Let PG be the abelian modular group ring of the abelian group G over the abelian ring P with 1 and prime char P = p. In the present article,the p-primary components Up(PG) and S(PG) of the groups of units U(PG) and V(PG) are classified for some major classes of abelian groups. Suppose K is a first kind field with respect to p in char K ≠ p and A is an abelian p-group. In the present work, the p-primary...

The adjoint representation of group algebras and enveloping algebras.

Donald S. Passman (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper we study the Hopf adjoint action of group algebras and enveloping algebras. We are particularly concerned with determining when these representations are faithful. Delta methods allow us to reduce the problem to certain better behaved subalgebras. Nevertheless, the problem remains open in the finite group and finite-dimensional Lie algebra cases.

The Bass conjecture and growth in groups

Anders Karlsson, Markus Neuhauser (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We discuss Bass's conjecture on the vanishing of the Hattori-Stallings rank from the viewpoint of geometric group theory. It is noted that groups without u-elements satisfy this conjecture. This leads in particular to a simple proof of the conjecture in the case of groups of subexponential growth.

Torsion units in group rings.

Vikas Bist (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let U(RG) be the unit group of the group ring RG. In this paper we study group rings RG whose support elements of every torsion unit are torsion, where R is either the ring of integers Z or a field K.

Units in group rings of crystallographic groups

Karel Dekimpe (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In [3], the authors initiated a technique of using affine representations to study the groups of units of integral group rings of crystallographic groups. In this paper, we use this approach for some special classes of crystallographic groups. For a first class of groups we obtain a normal complement for the group inside the group of normalized units. For a second class of groups we show that the Zassenhaus conjectures ZC1 and ZC3 are valid. This generalizes the results known for the infinite dihedral...

Warfield invariants in abelian group rings.

Peter V. Danchev (2005)

Extracta Mathematicae

Let R be a perfect commutative unital ring without zero divisors of char(R) = p and let G be a multiplicative abelian group. Then the Warfield p-invariants of the normed unit group V (RG) are computed only in terms of R and G. These cardinal-to-ordinal functions, combined with the Ulm-Kaplansky p-invariants, completely determine the structure of V (RG) whenever G is a Warfield p-mixed group.
