On the (crossed) Burnside ring of profinite groups

Publication:2682841





The author generalizes certain results on the crossed Burnside ring of a finite group to profinite groups. A classic result of \textit{D. Gluck} [Ill. J. Math. 25, 63--67 (1981; Zbl 0424.16007)] states that a finite group is solvable if and only if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents in its Burnside ring. An analogue of this result for the profinite case is given by the author as a profinite group is prosoluble if and only if the only idempotents in its Burnside ring (Proposition 6.1). Another important result regarding Burnside ring of a finite groups is Gluck's formula for its primitive idempotents. Tha author generalizes this formula to Burnside rings of profinite groups (Proposition 6.4).
