If you have a question about this talk, please contact David Craven. Let G be a group, K a field and A a n by m matrix over the group ring K[G]. Let G = G1 > G2 > G3 > ··· be a chain of normal subgroups of G of finite index with trivial intersection. The multiplication on the right side by A induces linear maps φi: K[G/Gi]n → K[G/Gi]m
We are interested in properties of the sequence {dimK ker φi / |G:Gi|}. In particular, we would like to answer the following questions.
It turns out that the answers on these questions are known for many groups G if K is a number field, less known if K is an arbitrary field of characteristic 0 and almost unknown if K is a field of positive characteristic. In my talk I will give several motivations to consider these questions, describe the known results and present recent advances in the case where K has characteristic 0.
