On commutative tensor factors of group algebras

Abstract

We prove that any tensor product factorization with a commutative factor of a modular group algebra over a prime field comes from a direct product decomposition of the group basis. This extends previous work by Carlson and Kovács for the commutative case and answers a question of them in some cases.
