"The Mackey Algebra of a Finite Group"

By

Merve Demirel

(Bilkent University)

Abstract: We shall define the Mackey algebra and prove that it is finitely
generated as a module. We shall also introduce Mackey functors as modules of
the Mackey algebra. As an example, we shall calculate the dimension of the
Mackey algebra of a group of order 2, and we shall find the simple modules and
their dimensions.
