Gruenberg-Kegel graphs with four edges of finite solvable cut groups

We prove that there is a unique graph with four edges which is the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a solvable cut group. This contributes to the classification of the Gruenberg-Kegel graphs of solvable cut groups initiated in [A. Bächle, A. Kiefer, S. Maheshwary, and A. del Río. "Gruenberg-Kegel graphs: Cut groups, rational groups and the prime graph question" Forum Mathematicum, vol. 35, no. 2, 2023, pp. 409-429. https://doi.org/10.1515/forum-2022-0086].

On commutative tensor factors of group algebras

We prove that any tensor product factorization with a commutative factor of a modular group algebra over a prime field comes from a direct product decomposition of the group basis. This extends previous work by Carlson and Kovács for the commutative case and answers a question of them in some cases.

On the Modular Isomorphism Problem for 2-generated groups with cyclic derived subgroup

We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. García-Lucas, Á. del Río, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular group algebras: even versus odd characteristic. Algebr. Represent. Theory. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10468-022-10182-x, 2022]. We show that if $G$ belongs to this class of groups, then the isomorphism type of the quotients $G/(G')^{p^3}$ and $G/γ_3(G)^p$ are determined by its modular group algebra. In fact, we obtain a more general but technical result, expressed in terms of the classification \cite{OsnelDiegoAngel}. We also show that for groups in this class of order at most $p^{11}$, the Modular Isomorphism Problem has positive answer. Finally, we describe some families of groups of order $p^{12}$ whose group algebras over the field with $p$ elements cannot be distinguished with the techniques available to us.

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of finite solvable rational groups

A finite group $G$ is said to be rational if every character of $G$ is rational-valued. The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a finite group $G$ is the undirected graph whose vertices are the primes dividing the order of $G$ and the edges join different primes $p$ and $q$ whenever $G$ contains an element of order $pq$. In this paper, we complete the classification of the Gruenberg-Kegel graphs of finite solvable rational groups initiated in \cite{BKMdR}.

On the modular isomorphism problem for groups of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic center

We show that the modular isomorphism problem has a positive answer for groups of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic center, i.e. that for such p-groups G and H an isomorphism between the group algebras FG and FH implies an isomorphism of the groups G and H for F the field of p elements. For groups of odd order this implication is also proven for F being any field of characteristic p. For groups of even order we need either to make an additional assumption on the groups or on the field.

The modular isomorphism problem and abelian direct factors

Let $p$ be a prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group. We show that the isomorphism type of the maximal abelian direct factor of $G$, as well as the isomorphism type of the group algebra over $\mathbb F_p$ of the non-abelian remaining direct factor, are determined by $\mathbb F_p G$, generalizing the main result in arXiv:2110.10025 over the prime field. In order to do this, we address the problem of finding characteristic subgroups of $G$ such that their relative augmentation ideals depend only on the $k$-algebra structure of $kG$, where $k$ is any field of characteristic $p$, and relate it to the modular isomorphism problem, reproving and extending some known results.

On group invariants determined by modular group algebras: even versus odd characteristic

Let $p$ be a an odd prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G'$. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G'$ in $G$ are determined by the group algebra of $G$ over any field of characteristic $p$. If, additionally, $G$ is $2$-generated then almost all the numerical invariants determining $G$ up to isomorphism are determined by the same group algebras; as a consequence the isomorphism type of the centralizer of $G'$ is determined. These claims are known to be false for $p=2$.
