Abstract

Let F be a field of characteristic two and G a finite abelian 2-group with an involutory automorphism η. If G = H × D with non-trivial subgroups H and D of G such that η inverts the elements of H (H without a direct factor of order 2) and fixes D element-wise, then the linear extension of η to the group algebra FG is called a nice involution. This determines the groups of unitary and symmetric normalized units of FG. We calculate the orders and the invariants of these subgroups.
