Generalized twisted group rings of finite groups

From MaRDI portal





Let \(R\) be a domain and \(G\) be a finite group. A generalized 2-cocycle is a map \(\alpha\colon G\times G\to R\setminus\{0\}\) such that \(\alpha(e,e)=1\) and \(\alpha(x,y)\alpha(xy,z)=\alpha(x,yz)\alpha(y,z)\) for all \(x,y,z\in G\). Let \(R*_\alpha G\) be the generalized twisted group ring of \(G\) over \(R\) associated to \(\alpha\), that is the \(R\)-algebra which is a free \(R\)-module, freely generated by the symbols \(u_x\) (\(x\in G\)), with multiplication determined by: \((au_x)(bu_y)=\alpha(x,y)abu_{xy}\), where \(a,b\in R\) and \(x,y\in G\). The main goal of the article is to give a criterion for \(R*_\alpha G\) to be separable over its centre (Section 4), supposing that \(R\) is a discrete valuation ring. To this aim, the authors study the centre of \(R*_\alpha G\) (Section 2) and prime ideals in \(R*_\alpha G\) (Section 3). In Section 5 primitive idempotents of \(R*_\alpha G\) and indecomposable finitely generated projective \(R*_\alpha G\)-modules are considered. When dealing with the centres in Section 2, the authors suppose that \(R\) is only a domain.
