Let G be an Abelian group, the symmetric algebra of G and the associated graded ring of the integral group ring ZG, where (AG denotes the augmentation ideal of ZG). Then there is a natural epimorphism (4)which is given on the nth component byIn general θ is not an isomorphism. In fact Bachmann and Grünenfelder(1) have shown that for finite Abelian G, θ is an isomorphism if and only if G is cyclic. Thus it is of interest to investigate ker θn for finite Abelian groups. In view of proposition 3.25 of (3) it is enough to consider finite Abelian p-groups.

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.

Let G be a finite group and let g be the augmentation ideal of the integral group ring G. Following Gruenberg(5) we let (g̱) denote the category whose objects are short exact sequences of zG-modules of the form and in which the morphisms are commutative diagramsIn this paper we describe the projective objects in this category. These are the objects which satisfy the usual categorical definition of projectivity, but they may also be characterized as the short exact sequencesin which P is a projective module.

1. Introduction: If G is a group, Z(G) its integral group-ring and AG the augmentation ideal, then we can form the Abelian groupsIn (5) we have studied the structure of these Abelian groups which we called polynomial grouups. If C denotes the category of Abelian groups, then Pn and Qn are functors from C into C. We call these functors polynomial functors. The object of this work is to study the nature of these funtors. Except for n = 1, these functors are non-additive. In fact, in the sense of Eilenberg–Maclane (4) these are functors of degree exactly n (Theorem 2·3). Because of their non-additive nature, their derived functors cannot be calculated in the traditional Cartan–Eilenberg(1) method. We have to make use of the more recent theory of Dold–Puppe (3).

The present paper has been inspired by a theorem of Swan(5). The theorem can be described as follows. Let G be a finite group and let Γ be its integral group ring. We shall denote by Z an infinite cyclic additive group considered as a left Γ-module by defining gm = m for all g in G and m in Z. By a Tate resolution of Z is meant an exact sequencewhere Xn is a projective module for − ∞ < n < + ∞, and.

For the generalized quaternion group G, this article deals with the problem of presenting the nth power Δn(G) of the augmentation ideal Δ (G) of the integral group ring ZG. The structure of Qn(G)=Δn(G)/Δn+1(G) is obtained.

We denote by ZG the integral group ring of the finite group G. We call ±g, for g in G, a trivial unit of ZG. For G abelian, Higman [4] (see also [3, p. 262 ff]) showed that every unit of finite order in ZG is trivial. For arbitrary finite G (indeed, for a torsion group G, not necessarily finite), Higman [4] showed that every unit in ZG is trivial if and only if G is(i) abelian and the order of each element divides 4, or(ii) abelian and the order of each element divides 6, or(iii) the direct product of the quaternion group of order 8 and an abelian group of exponent 2.

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.

Let G be a group. Denote by ZG the group ring of G over the integers and by Δ = Δ(G) the augmentation ideal of ZG, that is, the kernel of the augmentation map ϵ : ZG → Z defined by . Then Δ is a free abelian group with a free basis . A filtration of Δ is a sequence

AbstractIf A is a finite abelian group and ZA its integral group ring, consider units u ∊ ZA which have coefficient sum = 1 and are fixed under the involution a —> a-1, a ∊ A. For an odd regular prime p and a p-group A, it is shown that u ≡ 1 mod p if only if u = π(v)v-p, where v is the same kind of unit, and π is the ring endomorphism given by a —> ap, a∊A.
