    Abstract

    The Adams operations ψΛn and ψsn on the Green ring of a group G over a field K arise from the study of the exterior powers and symmetric powers of KG-modules. When G is finite and K has prime characteristic p we show that ψΛn and ψsn are periodic in n if and only if the Sylow p-subgroups of G are cyclic. In the case where G is a cyclic p-group we find the minimum periods and use recent work of Symonds to express ψSn in terms of ψΛn. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
