AbstractIt is shown that any torsion unit of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of a finite group $G$ is rationally conjugate to an element of $\pm G$ if $G=XA$ with $A$ a cyclic normal subgroup of $G$ and $X$ an abelian group (thus confirming a conjecture of Zassenhaus for this particular class of groups, which comprises the class of metacyclic groups).

It is shown that any torsion unit of the integral group ring ℤG of a finite group G is rationally conjugate to a trivial unit if G = P ⋊ A with P a normal Sylow p-subgroup of G and A an abelian p′-group (thus confirming a conjecture of Zassenhaus for this particular class of groups). The proof is an application of a fundamental result of Weiss. It is also shown that the Zassenhaus conjecture holds for PSL(2,7), the finite simple group of order 168.

Abstract H. J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation 1 in the integral group ring {\mathbb{Z}G} of a finite group G is conjugate in the rational group algebra {\mathbb{Q}G} to an element of G. We prove the Zassenhaus conjecture for the groups {\mathrm{SL}(2,p)} and {\mathrm{SL}(2,p^{2})} with p a prime number. This is the first infinite family of non-solvable groups for which the Zassenhaus conjecture has been proved. We also prove that if {G=\mathrm{SL}(2,p^{f})} , with f arbitrary and u is a torsion unit of {\mathbb{Z}G} with augmentation 1 and order coprime with p, then u is conjugate in {\mathbb{Q}G} to an element of G. By known results, this reduces the proof of the Zassenhaus conjecture for these groups to proving that every unit of {\mathbb{Z}G} of order a multiple of p and augmentation 1 has order actually equal to p.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and let [Formula: see text] be the holomorph of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a finite nilpotent group or a symmetric group [Formula: see text] of degree [Formula: see text], then the normalizer property holds for [Formula: see text].

Let R be a ring with unit element and G a finite group. We denote by RG the group ring of the group G over R and by U(RG) the group of units of this group ring.The study of the nilpotency of U(RG) has been the subject of several papers.

Let G be an extension of a finite quasinilpotent group by a finite group. It is shown that under some conditions every Coleman automorphism of G is an inner automorphism. The interest in such automorphisms arose from the study of the normalizer problem for integral group rings. Our theorems generalize some well-known results.
