Extract

Two recent results relate the existence of injective modules for group algebras which are ‘small’ in some sense to the structure of the group.

(1) The trivial kG-module is injective if and only if G is a locally finite group with no elements of order p = char k (9).

(2) If (G) is a countable group, then every irreducible kG-module is injective if and only if G is a locally finite p′ group which is abelian-by-finite (9) and (11)
