MULTIPLICATIVE GROUP IN A FINITE RING

  • Published : 1993.08.01

Abstract

In this paper, we will show that the multiplicative group G in a finite ring R with identity 1 has a (B, N)-pair satisfying the following conditions; (1) G=BNB where B and N are subgroups of G. (2) B.cap.N is a normal subgroup of N and W = N/(B.cap.N), is generated by a set S = { $s_{1}$, $s_{2}$, .., $s_{k}$} where $s_{i}$.mem.N/(B.cap.N), $s_{i}$$^{2}$.iden.1 and $s_{i}$.neq.1. (3) For any s.mem.S and w.mem.W, we have sBw.contnd.BwB.cup.BswB. (4) We have sBs not .subeq. B for any s.mem.S. When G, B, N and S satisfy the above conditions, we say that the quadruple (G, B, N, S) is a Tits system. The group W is called the Weyl gorup of the Tits system.ystem.m.
