Contents 1 Section heading for L1(G). 2 Need simple definition for finite groups 3 Group C*-algebras 4 Group ring and group C*-algebra 5 Hopf and Frobenius structures

[edit] Section heading for L¹(G).

I suggest we remove the heading, and leave the content of that section so that it becomes part of the preceding section. CSTAR 14:51, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Need simple definition for finite groups

ToDo: The very first part of this article should describe the group algebra for finite groups. linas 04:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Never mind, I just added the beast. I needed something simple so that I could explain young symmetrizer. linas 06:39, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Group C*-algebras

Now the group C*-algebras (maximal and reduced) are both defined twice.... --CSTAR 14:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes ... I needed to think some more about that merge. Possibly there was little actually new in what I added. Charles Matthews 15:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Group ring and group C*-algebra

Some of the material in this article (group algebra) should be relocated to group ring. A while back, the material on group C*-algebra was transferred from the group ring article to here. However, I think there should be a separate article on Group C*-algebra of a locally compact group. --CSTAR 00:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hopf and Frobenius structures

Any group algebra has the structure of a Hopf algebra and any group algebra for a finite group has the structure of a Frobenius algebra. Maybe someone should put that in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.111.90.68 (talk) 02:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
