A direct factor theorem for commutative group algebras
Suppose is a field of characteristic and is a -primary abelian -group. It is shown that is a direct factor of the group of units of the group algebra .
Suppose is a field of characteristic and is a -primary abelian -group. It is shown that is a direct factor of the group of units of the group algebra .
Suppose is a prime number and is a commutative ring with unity of characteristic 0 in which is not a unit. Assume that and are -primary abelian groups such that the respective group algebras and are -isomorphic. Under certain restrictions on the ideal structure of , it is shown that and are isomorphic.
Let be an associative ring with identity and let denote the Jacobson radical of . is said to be semilocal if is Artinian. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the group ring , where is an abelian group, to be semilocal.
