Group Gradings on Associative Algebras with Involution

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we describe the group gradings by a finite abelian group G of the matrix algebra Mn(F) over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic different from 2, which respect an involution (involution gradings). We also describe, under somewhat heavier restrictions on the base field, all G-gradings on all finite-dimensional involution simple algebras.
