Given an involution in a group G, it can be extended in various ways to an involution in the group ring RG, where R is a ring, not necessarily commutative. In this paper nonlinear extensions are considered and necessary and sufficient conditions are given on the group G, its involution, the ring R and the extension for the set of skew-symmetric elements to be commutative and for it to be anticommutative.

Given an involution φ : G → G in a group G and a ring R, we study the extensions, not necessarily linear, to an involution ψ : RG → RG in the group ring RG. We investigate the symmetric elements, those α ∈ RG for which ψ(α) = α, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the set of symmetric elements, (RG)ψ, to be a subring of RG. This work is a generalization of [6] and references therein where only linear extensions of the group involution are considered.

AbstractLet $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and let $G$ be a group. The group ring $RG$ has a natural involution that maps each element $g\in G$ to its inverse. We denote by $RG^-$ the set of skew symmetric elements under this involution. We study necessary and sufficient conditions for $RG^-$ to be commutative.

Given a group G acting on a ring R via α:G → Aut (R), one can construct the skew group ring R*αG. Skew group rings have been studied in depth, but necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity of a general skew group ring are not known. In this paper, such conditions are given for certain types of skew group rings, with an emphasis on Von Neumann regular skew group rings. Next the results of the first section are used to construct a class of simple skew group rings. In particular, we obtain a more efficient proof of the simplicity of a certain ring constructed by J. Trlifaj.

Let RG denote the group ring of a group G over a commutative ring R with unity. We recall that a group is said to be an FC-group if all its conjugacy classes are finite.In [6], S. K. Sehgal and H. Zassenhaus gave necessary and sufficient conditions for U(RG) to be an FC-group when R is either Z, the ring of rational integers, or a field of characteristic 0.One of the authors considered this problem for group rings over infinite fields of characteristic p ≠ 2 in [5] and G. Cliffs and S. K. Sehgal [1] completed the study for arbitrary fields. Also, group rings of finite groups over commutative rings containing Z(p), a localization of Z over a prime ideal (p) were studied in [4].

Let KG be the group ring of the group G over the infinite field K, and let U(KG) be its group of units. If G is torsion, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite subgroup H of G to be either normal or subnormal in U(KG). Actually, if H is subnormal in U(KG), we can handle not only the case H finite, but the precise assumptions depend on the characteristic of K.

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection. It is obvious that ∗-clean rings are clean. Vaš asked whether there exists a clean ring with involution that is not ∗-clean. In this paper, we investigate when a group ring RG is ∗-clean, where ∗ is the classical involution on RG. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for RG to be ∗-clean, where R is a commutative local ring and G is one of the groups C3, C4, S3 and Q8. As a consequence, we provide many examples of group rings which are clean but not ∗-clean.

The aim of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on a group G and a ring A for the group ring AG to be semi-perfect. A complete answer is given in the commutative case, in terms of the polynomial ring A[X] (Theorem 5.8). In the general case examples are given which indicate a very strong interaction between the properties of A and those of G. Partial answers to the question are given in Theorem 3.2, Proposition 4.2 and Corollary 4.3.

AbstractIn this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the group of units of a group ring of a finite group G over a field K does not contain a free subgroup of rank 2.Some extensions of this results to infinite nilpotent and FC groups are also considered.

Let J(R) be the Jacobson radical of a ring R. Then R is called homogeneous semilocal if R/J(R) is simple artinian. The aim of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the group rings and the crossed products to be homogeneous semilocal ring.
