BRAUER
GROUP RINGS
Patrik Lundström (Sweden)
|
Abstract: Inspired by a
construction of Brauer, we introduce a
generalization of group rings that we call
Brauer group rings. By studying the set of
traces of idempotents, we show that Brauer group
rings are, in a special case, von Neumann
finite. We also prove some results about
semisimple and semiprime Brauer group rings. |
Keywords and phrases: group ring, Brauer
algebra, C*-algebra. |
