On homogeneous nilpotent groups and rings

On Homogeneous Nilpotent Groups and Rings

We give a new framework for the construction of homogeneous nilpotent groups and rings which goes a long way toward unifying the two cases, and enables us to extend previous constructions, producing a variety of new examples. In particular we find ingredients for the manufacture of 2No homogeneous nilpotent groups "in nature".

A Note on Chain Conditions in Nilpotent Rings and Groups

Maximal and minimal conditions for ideals in associative rings have often been considered, but little seems to be known of these conditions in non-associative rings, or of chain conditions on the non-normal subgroups of a group. Moreover, it is usual to assume the condition for one-sided ideals in noncommutative rings, and the weaker condition for two-sided ideals rarely appears. In this note w...

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...

On Rings Whose Associated Lie Rings Are Nilpotent

We call (i?) 1 the Lie ring associated with R, and denote it by 9Î. The question of how far the properties of SR determine those of R is of considerable interest, and has been studied extensively for the case when R is an algebra, but little is known of the situation in general. In an earlier paper the author investigated the effect of the nilpotency of 9î upon the structure of R if R contains ...
