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 G be a group, ZG the group ring of G over the ring Z of integers, and U(ZG) the group of units of ZG. One method of investigating U(ZG) is to choose some property of groups and try to determine the groups G such that U(ZG) enjoys that property. For example Sehgal and Zassenhaus [9] have given necessary and sufficient conditions for U(ZG) to be nilpotent (see also [7]), and the same authors have investigated when U(ZG) is an FC (finite-conjugate) group [10]. For a survey of related questions, see [3]. In this paper we consider when U(ZG) contains a free subgroup of rank 2. We conjecture that if this does not happen, then every finite subgroup of G is normal, from which various other conclusions then follow (see Lemma 4).

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.

A Finite Group

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.

Left Annihilator

AbstractA ring R is said to be a Baer (respectively, quasi-Baer) ring if the left annihilator of any nonempty subset (respectively, any ideal) of R is generated by an idempotent. It is first proved that for a ring R and a group G, if a group ring RG is (quasi-) Baer then so is R; if in addition G is finite then |G|–1 € R. Counter examples are then given to answer Hirano's question which asks whether the group ring RG is (quasi-) Baer if R is (quasi-) Baer and G is a finite group with |G|–1 € R. Further, efforts have been made towards answering the question of when the group ring RG of a finite group G is (quasi-) Baer, and various (quasi-) Baer group rings are identified. For the case where G is a group acting on R as automorphisms, some sufficient conditions are given for the fixed ring RG to be Baer.

Subnormal Subgroups

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.

Skew Group Ring

Let S be a prime Noetherian ring and G a finite group acting on 5 such that Gis x-outer on S. We give sufficient conditions for the skew group ring S * Gto be a prime maximal order. If we impose the further hypothesis that the order of Gbe a unit of S, then these conditions are also necessary. Moreover, if S is a commutative Noetherian domain, then there are necessary and sufficient conditions for S*Gto be a prime maximal order, without requiring that the order of G be a unit in S.

Necessary And Sufficient

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.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let A be a finitely generated R-algebra with Jacobson radical N and center C. An R-inertial subalgebra of A is a R-separable subalgebra B with the property that B+N=A. Suppose A is separable over C and possesses a finite group G of R-automorphisms whose restriction to C is faithful with fixed ring R. If R is an inertial subalgebra of C, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an R-inertial subalgebra of A are found when the order of G is a unit in R. Under these conditions, an R-inertial subalgebra B of A is characterized as being the fixed subring of a group of R-automorphisms of A. Moreover, A ⋍ B ⊗R C. Analogous results are obtained when C has an R-inertial subalgebra S ⊃ R.

AbstractLet G be a finite group, let k be a field and let R be a finite dimensional fully G-graded k-algebra. Also let L be a completely reducible R-module and let P be a projective cover of R. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for P|R1 to be a projective cover of L|R1 in Mod (R1). In particular, this happens if and only if L is R1-projective. Some consequences in finite group representation theory are deduced.

Nonlinear Extensions

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.
