A counterexample to a conjecture on Cartan determinants of monoid algebras

Abstract

We show that there are finite monoids M such that the Cartan matrix of the monoid algebra C M is non-singular, whilst the Cartan matrix of kM is singular for some field k of positive characteristic, disproving a recent conjecture of Steinberg.
