On the automorphism group of the integral group ring of Sk wr Sn

1992

Abstract Let G = SkwrSn be the wreath product of two symmetric groups Sk and Sn. We prove that every normalized automorphism θ of the integral group ring Z G can be written in the form θ = γ ° τu, where γ is an automorphism of G and τu denotes the inner automorphism induced by a unit u in Q G.

Automorphisms of the integral group ring of the hyperoctahedral group

1990

The purpose of this paper is to verify a conjecture of Zassenhaus [3] for hyperoctahedral groups by proving that every normalized automorphism () of ZG can be written in the form () = Tu 0 I where I is an automorphism of ZG obtained by extending an automorphism of G linearly to ZG and u is a unit of (JJG. A similar result was proved for symmetric groups by Peterson in [2]; the reader should consult [3] or the survey [4] for other results of this kind. 1989

Central Units, Class Sums and Characters of the Symmetric Group

2010

In the search for central units of a group algebra, we look at the class sums of the group algebra of the symmetric group S n in characteristic zero, and we show that they are units in very special instances.

Some results concerning simple locally finite groups of 1-type

2005

AbstractIn this paper several aspects of infinite simple locally finite groups of 1-type are considered. In the first part, the classes of diagonal limits of finite alternating groups, of diagonal limits of finite direct products of alternating groups, and of absolutely simple groups of 1-type are distinguished from each other. In the second part, inductive systems of representations over fields of characteristic zero (which are known to correspond to ideals in the group algebra) are studied in general for groups of 1-type. The roles of primitive respectively imprimitive representations in inductive systems are investigated. Moreover it is shown that in any proper inductive system the depth…

Lie nilpotence of group rings

1993

Let FG be the group algebra of a group G over a field F. Denote by ∗ the natural involution, (∑fi gi -1. Let S and K denote the set of symmetric and skew symmetric and skew symmetric elements respectively with respect to this involutin. It is proved that if the characteristic of F is zero p≠2 and G has no 2-elements, then the Lie nilpotence of S or K implies the Lie nilpotence of FG.

Radical Rings with Engel Conditions

2000

Abstract An associative ring R without unity is called radical if it coincides with its Jacobson radical, which means that the set of all elements of R forms a group denoted by R ∘  under the circle operation r  ∘  s  =  r  +  s  +  rs on R . It is proved that, for a radical ring R , the group R ∘  satisfies an n -Engel condition for some positive integer n if and only if R is m -Engel as a Lie ring for some positive integer m depending only on n .

Lie properties of symmetric elements in group rings

2009

Abstract Let ∗ be an involution of a group G extended linearly to the group algebra KG . We prove that if G contains no 2-elements and K is a field of characteristic p ≠ 2 , then the ∗-symmetric elements of KG are Lie nilpotent (Lie n -Engel) if and only if KG is Lie nilpotent (Lie n -Engel).
