    Abstract

    Let $G$ be a group, $R$ an integral domain, and $V_G$ the subspace of the
    group algebra $R[G]$ consisting of all the elements of $R[G]$ whose coefficient
    of the identity element $1_G$ of $G$ is equal to zero. Motivated by the Mathieu
    conjecture [M], the Duistermaat-van der Kallen theorem [DK], and also by recent
    studies on the notion of Mathieu subspaces introduced in [Z4] and [Z6], we show
    that for finite groups $G$, $V_G$ under certain conditions also forms a Mathieu
    subspace of the group algebra $R[G]$.

  2. Polynomial automorphisms over finite fields: Mimicking non-tame and tame maps by the Derksen group.

    Abstract

    If $F$ is a polynomial automorphism over a finite field $\F_q$ in dimension
    $n$, then it induces a bijection $\pi_{q^r}(F)$ of $(\F_{q^r})^n$ for every
    $r\in \N^*$. We say that $F$ can be `mimicked' by elements of a certain group
    of automorphisms $\mathcal{G}$ if there are $g_r\in \mathcal{G}$ such that
    $\pi_{q^r}(g_r)=\pi_{q^r}(F)$.
