We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.
Let p be a an odd prime and let G be a finite p-group with cyclic commutator subgroup $G^{\prime }$
G
′
. We prove that the exponent and the abelianization of the centralizer of $G^{\prime }$
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 $G^{\prime }$
G
′
is determined. These claims are known to be false for p = 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
