Carter subgroups in the group of units of an associative algebra

Abstract

In this paper we examine some properties of the Carter subgroups in the group of units of certain associative algebras. A description of the Carter subgroups in the case of a solvable associative algebra is obtained. Moreover, given an associative algebra A, we study relationships between the Cartan subalgebras of the Lie algebra associated with A and the Carter subgroups of the group of units of A.
