Abstract

Let G be a group with involution {*} and sigma: G[+/- 1] a group homomorphism such that sigma(g{*})=sigma(g) for all gG. The map that sends alpha = Sigma alpha(g)g in a group ring RG to alpha(\#) = Sigma sigma(g)alpha(g)g{*} is an involution of RG called an oriented group involution. In this article, noting that the -symmetric elements of RG form a Jordan ring under the product o= + , we ask when this product is trivial; equivalently, when the -symmetric elements anticommute.
