AbstractIf A is an elementary abelian group, let (A) denote the group of units, modulo torsion, of the group ring Z[A]. We study (A) by means of the compositewhere C and B run over all cyclic subgroups and factor-groups, respectively. This map, γ, is known to be injective; its index, too, is known. In this paper, we determine the rank of γ tensored (over Z);with various fields. Our main result depends only on the functoriality of

AbstractFor any finite abelian group A, let Ω(A) denote the group of units in the integral group ring which are mapped to cyclotomic units by every character of A. It always contains a subgroup Y(A), of finite index, for which a basis can be systematically exhibited. For A of order pq, where p and q are odd primes, we derive estimates for the index [Ω(A) : Y(A)]. In particular, we obtain conditions for its triviality.

Every code in the latest study of group ring codes is a submodule thathas a generator. Study reveals that each of these binary group ring codes can havemultiple generators that have diverse algebraic properties. However, idempotentgenerators get the most attention as codes with an idempotent generator are easierto determine its minimal distance. We have fully identify all idempotents in everybinary cyclic group ring algebraically using basis idempotents. However, the conceptof basis idempotent constrained the exibilities of extending our work into the studyof identication of idempotents in non-cyclic groups. In this paper, we extend theconcept of basis idempotent into idempotent that has a generator, called a generatedidempotent. We show that every idempotent in an abelian group ring is either agenerated idempotent or a nite sum of generated idempotents. Lastly, we show away to identify all idempotents in every binary abelian group ring algebraically by fully obtain the support of each generated idempotent.

Suppose that R is a commutative unitary ring of arbitrary characteristic and G is a multiplicative abelian group. Our main theorem completely determines the cardinality of the set id(RG), consisting of all idempotent elements in the group ring RG. It is explicitly calculated only in terms associated with R, G and their divisions. This result strengthens previous estimates obtained in the literature recently.

Let G be a torsion group and let R be a G-adapted ring. In this note we study the question of when the group ring RG has only trivial torsion units. It turns out that the above question is closely related to the question of when the quaternion group ring RQ8 has only trivial torsion units. We first give a ring-theoretic condition on R which determines exactly when the quaternion group ring has only trivial torsion units. Then several equivalent conditions for RG to have only trivial torsion units are provided. We also investigate the hypercenter of the unit group of a G-adapted group ring RG, and show that when R satisfies the torsion trivial involution condition, this hypercenter is not equal to the center if and only if G is a Q*-group.

AbstractWe extend the classical notion of an outer action α of a group G on a unital ring A to the case when α is a partial action on ideals, all of which have local units. We show that if α is an outer partial action of an abelian group G, then its associated partial skew group ring A *α G is simple if and only if A is G-simple. This result is applied to partial skew group rings associated with two different types of partial dynamical systems.
