  • Twisted group algebras of Abelian groups
    André Duarte, Raul Antonio Ferraz, César Polcino Milies
    Finite Fields and their Applications, 2024
  • Complete group of central units in some group rings over Z and Z[θp]
    Vitor Araujo Garcia, Raul Antonio Ferraz
    Communications in Algebra, 2024
    In the present work, we contribute with new results that enabled us to give an explicit description of the groups of central units of integral group rings and group rings with coefficients in Z[θ], for certain groups G, where θ is a p− primitive root of unity and p is a prime number. In particular, we find a set of generators for the case where G is the Heisenberg Group.
  • Units in some group rings over the ring of p-cyclotomic integers
    Vitor Araujo Garcia, Raul Antonio Ferraz
    Journal of Algebra and Its Applications, 2023
    Describing the group of units of a group ring is a classical problem. Let [Formula: see text] be a rational prime number. We set [Formula: see text] a primitive root of unity of order [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] the ring of [Formula: see text]-cyclotomic integers, [Formula: see text] a finite abelian [Formula: see text]-group and [Formula: see text] the group of the units [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the augmentation map. We will prove that all the elements of the group [Formula: see text] arise from the units of the group ring [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text]. As an application, we describe explicitly the group of units of the group ring [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is an elementary abelian [Formula: see text]-group and [Formula: see text] is a regular prime number.
  • Essential idempotents in group algebras and coding theory
    Raul A. Ferraz, C. Polcino Milies
    Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2021
  • One-weight codes in some classes of group rings
    Raul Antonio Ferraz, Ruth Nascimento Ferreira
    Applicable Algebra in Engineering Communications and Computing, 2021
    Let $${\\mathbb {F}}_q$$ be a finite field with q elements and G be a finite abelian group. In this work we gave conditions to ensure that a code in $${\\mathbb {F}}_qG$$ is a one-weight code in the case when G is a cyclic group with n elements, such that $${\\text {gcd}}(n,q) = 1$$ , and also when G is an abelian group.
  • Left ideals of matrix rings and error-correcting codes
    R. A. Ferraz, C. Polcino Milies, E. Taufer

  • Central units in some integral group rings
    Vitor Araujo Garcia, Raul Antonio Ferraz
    Communications in Algebra, 2021
    Let G be a finite group and ZG be the integral group ring of G. We denote by U1(ZG) the group of normalized units of ZG; that is, the units which have augmentation 1, and by Z(U1(ZG)) the group of normalized central units. Many articles have been written describing the groups U1(ZG) and Z(U1(ZG)) for certain groups G. In this work, we will describe the group of normalized central units of some integral group rings by applying the idea presented in an article by Ferraz and Simón to a wider variety of groups, and we will study some examples of groups that can be treated with this method: metacyclic groups of type Cqm⋊Cpn; some metacyclic p-groups; some metabelian p-groups and some generalized dihedral groups.

  • Central Units in ℤCp, q
    Raul Antonio Ferraz, Juan Jacobo Simón
    Communications in Algebra, 2016
    Let Cp, q be the semi-direct product of a cyclic group of order q by a cyclic group of order p, and ℤCp, q the integral group ring of Cp, q. In this article, firstly, we describe the group of normalized central units of ℤCp, q as a direct product of two subgroups that we call units of first kind and of second kind. For a class of prime numbers that we call good primes, we construct a multiplicatively independent set which generates the group of units of first kind. Finally, we construct a set of multiplicatively independent units which generates the units of second kind for a larger class of primes.
