On the Arithmetic of the Join Rings over Finite Fields
arxiv(2023)
Abstract
Given a collection { G_i}_i=1^d of finite groups and a ring R, we have previously introduced and studied certain foundational properties of the join ring 𝒥_G_1, G_2, …, G_d(R). This ring bridges two extreme worlds: matrix algebras M_n(R) on one end and group algebras RG on the other. The construction of this ring was motivated by various problems in graph theory, network theory, nonlinear dynamics, and neuroscience. In this paper, we continue our investigations of this ring, focussing more on its arithmetic properties. We begin by constructing a generalized augmentation map that gives a structural decomposition of this ring. This decomposition allows us to compute the zeta function of the join of group rings. We show that the join of group rings is a natural home for studying the concept of simultaneous primitive roots for a given set of primes. This concept is related to the order of the unit group of the join of group rings. Finally, we characterize the join of group rings over finite fields with the property that the order of every unit divides a fixed number. Remarkably, Mersenne and Fermat primes unexpectedly emerge within the context of this exploration.
