Let k be a field and let A n ฯ be the Taft's n 2 -dimensional Hopf algebra. When n is odd, the Drinfeld quantum double D A n ฯ of A n ฯ is a ribbon Hopf algebra. In a previous paper we constructed an n 4 -dimensional Hopf algebra H n p q which is isomorphic to D A n ฯ if p = 0 and q = ฯ -1 , and stu

โฆ Synopsis
We present some results about the representation ring of the quantum double of a finite group over fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give a direct sum decomposition of this representation ring into ideals involving Green rings of subgroups. Given characters of such Green rings, we construct characters of the representation ring of the quantum double and show that all characters arise in this fashion. We prove that the characters thereby obtained from Brauer characters separate modules of the quantum double up to composition factors.

A Cayley graph = Cay(G, S) is called a graphical regular representation of the group G if Aut = G. One long-standing open problem about Cayley graphs is to determine which Cayley graphs are graphical regular representations of the corresponding groups. A simple necessary condition for to be a graphi
This article is devoted to the following problem: Let R be a finite local ring with identity. Can R be embedded into a matrix ring over a commutative ring? The question is reduced to an explicitly described class of test-cases.

We improve Kemper's algorithm for the computation of a noetherian normalization of the invariant ring of a finite group. The new algorithm, which still works over arbitrary coefficient fields, no longer relies on algorithms for primary decomposition.
