AN EXPLICIT DIAGONAL RESOLUTION FOR A NON-ABELIAN METACYCLIC GROUP
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2017
Abstract
We consider the notion of a free resolution. In general, a free resolution can be of any length depending on the group ring under investigation. The metacyclic groups $G(pq)$ however admit periodic resolutions. In the particular case of $G(21)$ it is possible to achieve a fully diagonalized resolution. In order to achieve a diagonal resolution, we obtain a complete list of indecomposable modules over $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$. Such a list aids the decomposition of the augmentation ideal (the first syzygy) into a direct sum of indecomposable modules. Therefore, we are able to achieve a diagonalized map here. From this point it is possible to decompose all of the remaining syzygies in terms of indecomposable modules, leaving a diagonal resolution.
