Isomorphism of group algebras of the dihedral group.

$begingroup$


I'm trying to solve the following problem.




Let $m,n in mathbb{N}, m|n$. Prove that $mathbb{Z[D_{n}]}/ langle R^{m} - 1 rangle sim mathbb{Z[D_{m}]}$.




I'm trying to prove it using a hands on approach exhibiting the isomorphism between both rings without much luck. I can't think of any way of doing it. The hint given by the notes is that I should find a morphism and it's inverse, so I'm led to believe it shouldn't be that difficult but it is for now.



Any hint so that I can solve it will be more than helpful. Thanks a lot!

Let $m | n$ be two positive integers. Consider the morphism



$$
newcommand{zd}[1]{mathbb{Z}[mathbb{D}_{#1}]}
begin{align}
g : zd{n}& tozd{m} \
& 1 mapsto 1 \
& r mapsto rho \
& s mapsto sigma
end{align}
$$



with $r,s$ and $rho,sigma$ the generators of the corresponding dihedral groups. This mapping is clearly surjective, and we also have $langle r^m-1 rangle subset ker g$, since



$$
g(a(r^m-1)) = g(a)(rho^m-1) = g(a)(1-1) = 0.
$$



Via the first isomorphism theorem it would suffice to see the other inclusion, so that $ker g = langle r^m -1 rangle$ and therefore $zd{n}/langle r^m-1rangle simeq zd{m}$.



Let $x = sum_{s=1}^na_sr^s + bsin zd{n}$. Now, if



$$
0 = g(x) = sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s + bsigmain zd{m},
$$



then $b = 0$ and $sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = 0$. Noting $n = mk$, we get



$$
0 = sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}rho^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mleft(sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right)rho^{i}
$$



and so



$$
sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i} = 0 quad (forall i). tag{$star$}
$$



Hence, we have that



$$
begin{align}
x &= sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} = sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} + a_iright]\
& stackrel{(star)}{=} sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} -sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right] = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}(r^{mj}-1) \
& = sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(r^{mj}-1)sum_{i=1}^mr^ia_{mj+i}.
end{align}
$$



To see that $x in langle r^m -1 rangle$, it suffices to see that each summand is in this ideal, and moreover we can reduce this to proving $(r^{mj}-1) in langle r^m -1rangle$ for each $j in {1,dots,k-1}$. In effect, by the 'difference of powers' equality,



$$
r^{mj}-1 = (r^m)^j - 1^j = (r^m-1)sum_{l=0}^{j-1}(r^m)^l in langle r^m-1 rangle.
$$

Let $m | n$ be two positive integers. Consider the morphism



$$

begin{align}

& s mapsto sigma
end{align}
$$



with $r,s$ and $rho,sigma$ the generators of the corresponding dihedral groups. This mapping is clearly surjective, and we also have $langle r^m-1 rangle subset ker g$, since



$$
g(a(r^m-1)) = g(a)(rho^m-1) = g(a)(1-1) = 0.
$$



Via the first isomorphism theorem it would suffice to see the other inclusion, so that $ker g = langle r^m -1 rangle$ and therefore $zd{n}/langle r^m-1rangle simeq zd{m}$.



Let $x = sum_{s=1}^na_sr^s + bsin zd{n}$. Now, if



$$
0 = g(x) = sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s + bsigmain zd{m},
$$



then $b = 0$ and $sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = 0$. Noting $n = mk$, we get



$$
0 = sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}rho^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mleft(sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right)rho^{i}
$$



and so



$$
sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i} = 0 quad (forall i). tag{$star$}
$$



Hence, we have that



$$
begin{align}
x &= sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} = sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} + a_iright]\
& stackrel{(star)}{=} sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} -sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right] = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}(r^{mj}-1) \
& = sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(r^{mj}-1)sum_{i=1}^mr^ia_{mj+i}.
end{align}
$$



To see that $x in langle r^m -1 rangle$, it suffices to see that each summand is in this ideal, and moreover we can reduce this to proving $(r^{mj}-1) in langle r^m -1rangle$ for each $j in {1,dots,k-1}$. In effect, by the 'difference of powers' equality,



$$
r^{mj}-1 = (r^m)^j - 1^j = (r^m-1)sum_{l=0}^{j-1}(r^m)^l in langle r^m-1 rangle.

then $b = 0$ and $sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = 0$. Noting $n = mk$, we get



$$
0 = sum_{s=1}^na_srho^s = sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}rho^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mleft(sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right)rho^{i}
$$



and so



$$
sum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i} = 0 quad (forall i). tag{$star$}
$$



Hence, we have that



$$
begin{align}
x &= sum_{i=1}^msum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj+i} = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=0}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} = sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} + a_iright]\
& stackrel{(star)}{=} sum_{i=1}^mr^ileft[sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}r^{mj} -sum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}right] = sum_{i=1}^mr^isum_{j=1}^{k-1}a_{mj+i}(r^{mj}-1) \
& = sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(r^{mj}-1)sum_{i=1}^mr^ia_{mj+i}.
end{align}
$$



To see that $x in langle r^m -1 rangle$, it suffices to see that each summand is in this ideal, and moreover we can reduce this to proving $(r^{mj}-1) in langle r^m -1rangle$ for each $j in {1,dots,k-1}$. In effect, by the 'difference of powers' equality,



$$
r^{mj}-1 = (r^m)^j - 1^j = (r^m-1)sum_{l=0}^{j-1}(r^m)^l in langle r^m-1 rangle.
$$
