When $q=1$, it coincides with the Witt-Burnside ring introduced by A. Dress and C. Siebeneicher (Adv. Math. {70} (1988), 87-132). To achieve our goal we first show that there exists a $q$-deformation of the necklace ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring. As in the classical case, i.e., the case $q=1$, q-deformed Witt-Burnside rings and necklace rings always come equipped with inductions and restrictions. We also study their properties. As a byproduct, we prove a conjecture due to Lenart (J. Algebra. 199 (1998), 703-732). Finally, we classify $\\mathbb W_G^q$ up to strict natural isomorphism in case where $G$ is an abelian profinite group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-12-20T06:06:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F03", "11F22", "17B70" ], "keywords": [ "deformation", "strict natural isomorphism", "abelian profinite group", "necklace ring", "q-deformed witt-burnside rings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....11353O" } } }
