Abstract

Let $\mathbb{F}_qG$ be a finite group algebra. We denote by $P(\mathbb{F}_qG)$ the probability that the product of two elements of $\mathbb{F}_qG$ be zero. In this paper, we obtain several results on this probability including a computing formula and characterizations. In particular, the computing formula for the $P(\mathbb{F}_qG)$ are established where $G$ is the cyclic group $C_n$, the Quaternion group $Q_8$, the symmetric group $S_3$ and $F_q$ is a finite field.
