AbstractThe structure of modules over polycyclic group rings RG is investigated using the idea of a link P ⇝ Q between prime ideals of RG. The representation theory of RG splits into two parts – the part we discuss is determined by the representation theory of certain Noetherian polynomial identity factor rings of subrings of RG.

Let R be a ring and G a polycyclic-by-finite group. In this paper, it is determined, in terms of properties of R and G, when the group ring R[G] is a prime Krull order and when it is a price v-HC order. The key ingredient in obtaining both characterizations is the first author's earlier study of height one prime ideals in the ring R[G[.

AbstractWe prove the existence of trace functions in the rings of fractions of polycyclic-by-finite group rings or their homomorphic images. In particular a trace function exists in the ring of fractions of KH, where H is a polycyclic-by-finite group and char K > N, where N is a constant depending on H.
