Abstract

We introduce fusion algebras with not necessarily positive structure constants and without identity element. We prove that they are semisimple when tensored with C and that their characters satisfy orthogonality relations. Then we define the proper notion of subrings and factor rings for such algebras. For certain algebras R we prove the existence of a ring R with nonnegative structure constants such that R is a factor ring of R. We give some examples of interesting factor rings of the representation ring of the quantum double of a finite group. Then, we investigate the algebras associated to Hadamard matrices. For an n × n-matrix the corresponding algebra is a factor ring of a subalgebra of Z [(Z / 2 Z)n - 2].

For certain algebras R we prove the existence of a ring R′ with nonnegative structure constants such that R is a factor ring of R′. We give some examples of interesting factor rings of the representation ring of the quantum double of a finite group. Then, we investigate the algebras associated to Hadamard matrices.
