Nilpotent decomposition in integral group rings

Central Units of Integral Group Rings of Nilpotent Groups

In this paper a finite set of generators is given for a subgroup of finite index in the group of central units of the integral group ring of a finitely generated nilpotent group. In this paper we construct explicitly a finite set of generators for a subgroup of finite index in the centre Z(U(ZG)) of the unit group U(ZG) of the integral group ring ZG of a finitely generated nilpotent group G. Ri...

Involutions and Free Pairs of Bicyclic Units in Integral Group Rings of Non-nilpotent Groups

If ∗ : G → G is an involution on the finite group G, then ∗ extends to an involution on the integral group ring Z[G]. In this paper, we consider whether bicyclic units u ∈ Z[G] exist with the property that the group 〈u, u∗〉, generated by u and u∗, is free on the two generators. If this occurs, we say that (u, u∗) is a free bicyclic pair. It turns out that the existence of u depends strongly upo...

Nilpotent Elements in Skew Polynomial Rings

 Letbe a ring with an endomorphism and an -derivationAntoine studied the structure of the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introduced nil-Armendariz rings. In this paper we introduce and investigate the notion of nil--compatible rings. The class of nil--compatible rings are extended through various ring extensions and many classes of nil--compatible rings are constructed. We al...

Extensions of Nilpotent P.P. Rings

Class Groups of Integral Group Rings(x)

Let A be an Ä-order in a semisimple finite dimensional /(-algebra, where K is an algebraic number field, and R is the ring of algebraic integers of K. Denote by C(A) the reduced class group of the category of locally free left A-lattices. Choose A= ZC, the integral group ring of a finite group G, and let A be a maximal Z-order in QG containing A. There is an epimorphism C(A)-C(A'), given by JIÍ...
