Let G be a group, ZG its integral group ring and Δ = Δ(G) the augmentation ideal of ZG. Denote by Gi the ith term of the lower central series of G. Following Passi [3], we set . It is well-known that (see, for example [1]). In [3] Passi shows that if G is an abelian group then , the second symmetric power of G.

We study certain subgroups of the Schur multiplicator of a group G. These subgroups are related to the identification of subgroups of G determind by ideals in its integral group ring ℤ[G]. Suitably defined transfinite powers of the augmentation ideal of ℤ[G] provide an increasing transfinite filtration of the Schur multiplicator of G. We investigate the relationship of this filtration with the transfinite lower central series of groups which are HZ-local in the sense of Bousfield.

We study the Zassenhaus conjecture for the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of the Mathieu sporadic group M24. As a consequence, for this group we give a positive answer to the question by Kimmerle about prime graphs.

Let ℤG be the integral group ring of the finite nonabelian group G over the ring of integers ℤ, and let * be an involution of ℤG that extends one of G. If x and y are elements of G, we investigate when pairs of the form (uk, m(x), uk, m(x*)) or (uk, m(x), uk, m(y)), formed respectively by Bass cyclic and *-symmetric Bass cyclic units, generate a free noncyclic subgroup of the unit group of ℤG.

AbstractIn this paper, we first show that the central height of the unit group of the integral group ring of a periodic group is at most 2. We then give a complete characterization of the n-centre of that unit group. The n-centre of the unit group is either the centre or the second centre (for n ≥ 2).

LetGbe a finite group,(ZG) the group of units of the integral group ring ZGand1(ZG) the subgroup of units of augmentation 1. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the problem of describing constructively(ZG) for particular groupsG.This has been done for a small number of groups (see [11] for an excellent survey), and most recently Jespers and Leal [3] described(ZG) for several 2-groups. While the situation is clear for all groups of order less than 16, not all groups of order 16 were discussed in their paper. Our main aim is to complete the description of(ZG) for all groups of order 16. Since the structure of the unit group of abelian groups is very well known (see for example [10]), we are only interested in the non-abelian case.
