Abstract

``Wedderga'' stands for ``WEDDERburn decomposition of Group Algebras". This is a GAP package to compute the simple components of the Wedderburn decomposition of semisimple group algebras of finite groups over finite fields and over subfields of finite cyclotomic extensions of the rationals. It also contains functions that produce the primitive central idempotents of semisimple group algebras and a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents. Other functions of Wedderga allow to construct crossed products over a group with coefficients in an associative ring with identity and the multiplication determined by a given action and twisting.

Acknowledgements

We all are very grateful to Steve Linton for communicating the package and to the referee for careful testing Wedderga and useful suggestions. Also we acknowledge very much the members of the GAP team: Thomas Breuer, Alexander Hulpke, Frank Lübeck and many other colleagues for helpful comments and advise. We would like also to thank Thomas Breuer for the code of PrimitiveCentralIdempotentsByCharacterTable for rational group algebras.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of Wedderga development by the following institutions:
