Zero divisors in the extra-special group algebra $\mathbb{R}[2^{1+6}_+]$
Can you characterize the unit-group of the real group-algebra of the extraspecial plus-type 2-group of order 128? (That is $\mathbb{R}[2_+^{1+6}]$ using Conway's notation.)
(Please choose any irrep ...

How to go from primitive idempotents in $\text{End}_A(M)$ to primitive idempotents in $A$?
Let $K$ be a large enough finite field, let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $K$-algebra.
Moreover, let $M$ be a finitely generated $A$-module and let $M = M_1\oplus ... \oplus M_n$ be a decomposition of $...

Intersection of Maximal Left Ideals with Finite Dimensional Quotient
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and let $A=\mathbb{C}[\Gamma]$ be the corresponding group algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $X$ be the set of all maximal left ideals of $A$ and let $X_0=\{I \...
