TORSION UNITS IN INTEGRAL GROUP RINGS OF CONWAY SIMPLE GROUPS

Torsion Units in Integral Group Rings of Conway Simple Groups

Using the Luthar–Passi method, we investigate the possible orders and partial augmentations of torsion units of the normalized unit group of integral group rings of Conway simple groups Co1, Co2 and Co3. Let U(ZG) be the unit group of the integral group ring ZG of a finite group G, and V (ZG) be its normalized unit group

Torsion units in integral group rings of Janko simple groups

Using the Luthar-Passi method, we investigate the classical Zassenhaus conjecture for the normalized unit group of integral group rings of Janko simple groups. As a consequence, for the Janko groups J1, J2 and J3 we confirm Kimmerle’s conjecture on prime graphs.

On the Torsion Units of Some Integral Group Rings∗

It is shown that any torsion unit of the integral group ring ZG of a finite group G is rationally conjugate to a trivial unit if G = P o A with P a normal Sylow p-subgroup of G and A an abelian p′-group (thus confirming a conjecture of Zassenhaus for this particular class of groups). The proof is an application of a fundamental result of Weiss. It is also shown that the Zassenhaus conjecture ho...
