A torsion projective class for a group algebra
A torsion projective class for a group algebra
We exhibit a cyclic-by-finite group G and two projective modules P and Q for the rational group algebra of G with the following properties: 1. P+P is isomorphic to Q+Q; 2. P is not stably isomorphic to Q; 3. after tensoring with the complex group algebra, P and Q become isomorphic. The proof that P and Q are not isomorphic is topological and involves the Mobius strip bundle over the circle.

Abstract

We exhibit a cyclic-by-finite group G and two projective modules P and Q for the rational group algebra of G with the following properties: 1. P+P is isomorphic to Q+Q; 2. P is not stably isomorphic to Q; 3. after tensoring with the complex group algebra, P and Q become isomorphic. The proof that P and Q are not isomorphic is topological and involves the Mobius strip bundle over the circle.
