The Brauer indecomposability of Scott modules with wreathed 2-group vertices

Vertices of Specht Modules and Blocks of the Symmetric Group

This paper studies the vertices, in the sense defined by J. A. Green, of Specht modules for symmetric groups. The main theorem gives, for each indecomposable non-projective Specht module, a large subgroup contained in one of its vertices. A corollary of this theorem is a new way to determine the defect groups of symmetric groups. The main theorem is also used to find the Green correspondents of...

On the Vertices of Indecomposable Modules over Dihedral 2-groups

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We calculate the vertices of all indecomposable kD8-modules for the dihedral group D8 of order 8. We also give a conjectural formula of the induced module of a string module from kT0 to kG where G is a dihedral group G of order ≥ 8 and where T0 is a dihedral subgroup of index 2 of G. Some cases where we verified this formula are given.

Brauer Algebras and the Brauer Group

An algebra is a vector space V over a field k together with a kbilinear product of vectors under which V is a ring. A certain class of algebras, called Brauer algebras algebras which split over a finite Galois extension appear in many subfields of abstract algebra, including K-theory and class field theory. Beginning with a definition of the the tensor product, we define and study Brauer algebr...

The Differential Brauer Group

The Equivariant Brauer Group of a Group

We consider the Brauer group BM(k, G) of a group G (finite or infinite) over a commutative ring k with identity. A split exact sequence 1 −→ Br′(k) −→ BM′(k, G) −→ Gal(k, G) −→ 1 is obtained. This generalizes the Fröhlich-Wall exact sequence ([7, 8])from the case of a field to the case of a commutative ring, and generalizes the PiccoPlatzeck exact sequence ([13]) from the finite case of G to th...
