Let G be a periodic group and ZG its integral group ring. The elements ±g(g∈G) are called the trivial units of ZG. In [1], S. D. Berman has shown that if G is finite, then every unit of finite order is trivial if and only if G is abelian or the direct product of a quaternion group of order 8 and an elementary abelin 2-group. By comparison, Losey in [7] has shown that if ZG contains one non-trivial unit of finite order, then it contains infinitely many.

A Finite Group

Let G be a group, ZG its integral group ring and U(ZG) the group of units of ZG. The elements ±g∈U(ZG), g∈G, are called the trivial units of ZG. In this note we will proveLet G be a finite group. If ZG contains a non-trivial unit of finite order then it contains infinitely many non-trivial units of finite order.In [1] S. D. Berman has shown that if G is finite then every unit of finite order in ZG is trivial if and only if G is abelian or G is the direct product of a quaternion group of order 8 and an elementary abelian 2-group.

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).

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.

A Finite Group

Describing the group of units U(ZG) of the integral group ring ZG, for a finite group G, is a classical and open problem. In this paper, it is shown that U(Z[G × Cp]) = M ⋊ U(ZG), a semi-direct product where M is a certain subgroup of U(Z[ζ]G) and p prime. For p = 2, this structure theorem is applied to give precise descriptions of U(ZG) for a non-abelian group G of order 32, G = C10, and G = C8 × C2.

We denote by ZG the integral group ring of the finite group G. S.D. Berman [1] showed that every unit of finite order μ in G is trivial (i.e., μ = ±g for some g in G) if and only if either G is abelian or G is a Hamiltonian 2-group. In this note, we give a new and shorter proof for the “only if” part.
