Group element of group algebra
For a prime $p$, let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $F_{p}$ the field with $p$ elements.
Let $A=\{a\in F_{p}G \mid a^{\sum_{x\in G}x}\neq 0\}$, where $F_pG$ is the group algebra of $G$ over $F_p$ and $...

A generalisation of induced representations
Let $G$ be a finite group, and $H\subseteq G$ a subgroup. Let $F$ be a field. Let $W$ be a finite-dimensional $F[H]$-module. Let $T$ be a left transversal of $H$ in $G$. Then we can define:
$W^G=\sum_{...

Example of a group algebra with commutative Jacobson radical
I am searching a simple example of a finite group $G$, so that the Jacobson radical $J(FG)$, of group algebra $FG$ is commutative, where $F$ is a finite field. I know example for that if $G$ is any ...

Existence of $\sqrt{2}$ in a finite group algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$
I cannot find a finite group $G$ such that $\exists x\in \mathbb{Q}[G]$ with $x^2=2e$, where $\mathbb{Q}[G]$ is the group algebra of $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$.
I also could not prove it does not exist. ...

Is any finite-dimensional algebra a sub-algebra of a finite-group algebra?
For $A$ a finite-dimensional algebra over a field $K$
Does there exist a finite group $G$, such that $A$ is a sub-algebra of $K[G]$ ?
Where $K[G]$ denotes the group-algebra of $G$ over $K$.
In case ...

Subalgebra of group algebra generated by idempotents
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $A$ and $B$ be two abelian subgroups of $G$. Let $K$ be a number field such that all characters of $A$ and of $B$ take values in $K$. Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring ...

Units in a finite semisimple group algebra
Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a finite field, with the characteristic of $k$ not dividing the order of $G$. Then $kG$ is a finite semisimple group algebra with the interesting property that an ...
