Isomorphism of Commutative Group Algebras of Finite Abelian Groups

Let a commutative ring R be a direct product of indecomposable rings with identity and let G be a finite abelian p-group. In the present paper we give a complete system of invariants of the group algebra RG of G over R when p is an invertible element in R. These investigations extend some classical results of Berman (1953 and 1958), Sehgal (1970) and Karpilovsky (1984) as well as a result of Mollov (1986).

Algorithms for Generating Near-Rings on Finite Cyclic Groups

In the present work are described the algorithms that generate all near-rings on finite cyclic groups of order 16 to 29.

Factorizations of some Groups of Lie Type of Lie Rank 4

Еленка Генчева, Цанко Генчев В настоящата работа се разглеждат крайни прости групи G , които могат да се представят като произведение на две свои собствени неабелеви прости подгрупи A и B. Всяко такова представяне G = AB е прието да се нарича факторизация на G, а тъй като множителите A и B са избрани да бъдат прости подгрупи на G, то разглежданите факторизации са известни още като прости факторизации на G. Тук се предполага, че G е проста група от лиев тип и лиев ранг 4 над крайно поле GF (q). Ключови думи: крайни прости групи, групи от лиев тип, факторизации на групи.

On some Finite-Dimensional Representations of Artin Braid Group

Валентин В. Илиев - Авторът изучава някои хомоморфни образи G на групата на Артин на плитките върху n нишки в крайни симетрични групи. Получените пермутационни групи G са разширения на симетричната група върху n букви чрез подходяща абелева група. Разширенията G зависят от един целочислен параметър q ≥ 1 и се разцепват тогава и само тогава, когато 4 не дели q. В случая на нечетно q са намерени всички крайномерни неприводими представяния на G, а те от своя страна генерират безкрайна редица от неприводими представяния на групата на плитките.

Groups with the Minimal Condition on Non-“Nilpotent-by-Finite” Subgroups

We characterize the groups which do not have non-trivial perfect sections and such that any strictly descending chain of non-“nilpotent-by-finite” subgroups is finite.

On Finite Element Methods for 2nd order (semi–) periodic Eigenvalue Problems

We deal with a class of elliptic eigenvalue problems (EVPs) on a rectangle Ω ⊂ R^2 , with periodic or semi–periodic boundary conditions (BCs) on ∂Ω. First, for both types of EVPs, we pass to a proper variational formulation which is shown to fit into the general framework of abstract EVPs for symmetric, bounded, strongly coercive bilinear forms in Hilbert spaces, see, e.g., [13, §6.2]. Next, we consider finite element methods (FEMs) without and with numerical quadrature. The aim of the paper is to show that well–known error estimates, established for the finite element approximation of elliptic EVPs with classical BCs, hold for the present types of EVPs too. Some attention is also paid to the computational aspects of the resulting algebraic EVP. Finally, the analysis is illustrated by two non-trivial numerical examples, the exact eigenpairs of which can be determined.

Polynomial Automorphisms Over Finite Fields

It is shown that the invertible polynomial maps over a finite field Fq , if looked at as bijections Fn,q −→ Fn,q , give all possible bijections in the case q = 2, or q = p^r where p > 2. In the case q = 2^r where r > 1 it is shown that the tame subgroup of the invertible polynomial maps gives only the even bijections, i.e. only half the bijections. As a consequence it is shown that a set S ⊂ Fn,q can be a zero set of a coordinate if and only if #S = q^(n−1).

Groups with Restricted Conjugacy Classes

Let F C 0 be the class of all finite groups, and for each nonnegative integer n define by induction the group class FC^(n+1) consisting of all groups G such that for every element x the factor group G/CG ( ^G ) has the property FC^n . Thus FC^1 -groups are precisely groups with finite conjugacy classes, and the class FC^n obviously contains all finite groups and all nilpotent groups with class at most n. In this paper the known theory of FC-groups is taken as a model, and it is shown that many properties of FC-groups have an analogue in the class of FC^n -groups.

Fundamental Investigations on the Unit Groups of Commutative Group Algebras in Bulgaria

In this paper we give the first investigations and also some basic results on the unit groups of commutative group algebras in Bulgaria. These investigations continue some classical results. Namely, it is supposed that the cardinality of the starting group is arbitrary.
