Abstract

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$ runs through a subset $H$ of the symmetric group $\text{Sym}_{n}$ of degree $n$, is investigated. Groups $H$ in which the cyclic group $\langle (1,2, \ldots ,n) \rangle$ is a normal subgroup of index $2$ are considered. Certain representations by permutations of the dihedral and semidihedral groups belong to this class of groups. A normal form for the elements of the underlying monoid $S_n(H)$ with the same presentation as the algebra is obtained. Properties of the algebra are derived, it follows that it is an automaton algebra in the sense of Ufnarovski\u{\i}. The universal group $G_n$ of $S_n(H)$ is a unique product group, and it is the central localization of a cancellative subsemigroup of $S_n(H)$. This, together with previously obtained results on such semigroups and algebras, is used to show that the algebra $K[S_n(H)]$ is semiprimitive.
