Units in the Group Algebra FS3
摘要
We explicitly describe each unit of the group algebra ZpS3 for each positive prime p ≥ 5 by using a characterization of the group algebra of the metacyclic group G=<x, c : x3=1, cn=1, cxc–1=x–1> over the finite field F of characteristic p, where p is a positive prime such that p ∤ 3n. Based on our findings, we pose a conjecture on the number of roots of some explicit polynomials over the prime field ℤp for further academic explorations.
