Central Units in Integral Group Rings II 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work on central units of integral group rings is surveyed. In particular we present two methods of constructing central units, induction and lifting, and demonstrate how these constructions can often be used to find generators for large subgroups in the full group of central units of an integral group ring.

Some Results on Hypercentral Units in Integral Group Rings
In this note we investigate the hypercentral units in integral group rings ZG, where G is not necessarily torsion. One of the main results obtained is the following (Theorem 3.5): if the set of torsion elements of G is a subgroup T of G and if Z2(U) is not contained in CU (T ), then T is either an Abelian group of exponent 4 or a Q∗ group. This extends our earlier result on torsion group rings.
متن کاملTorsion 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
متن کاملFINITE GROUPS OF UNITS AND THEIR COMPOSITION FACTORS IN THE INTEGRAL GROUP RINGS OF THE GROUPS PSL(2, q)
Let G denote the projective special linear group PSL(2, q), for a prime power q. It is shown that a finite 2-subgroup of the group V(ZG) of augmentation 1 units in the integral group ring ZG of G is isomorphic to a subgroup of G. Furthermore, it is shown that a composition factor of a finite subgroup of V(ZG) is isomorphic to a subgroup of G.
متن کاملMultiplicative Jordan Decomposition in Group Rings with a Wedderburn Component of Degree 3
IfG is a finite group whose integral group ring Z[G] has the multiplicative Jordan decomposition property, then it is known that all Wedderburn components of the rational group ring Q[G] have degree at most 3. While degree 3 components can occur, we prove here that if they do, then certain central units in Z[G] cannot exist. With this, we are able to greatly simplify the argument that character...
متن کاملSubgroup Isomorphism Problem for Units of Integral Group Rings
The Subgroup Isomorphism Problem for Integral Group Rings asks for which finite groups U it is true that if U is isomorphic to a subgroup of V(ZG), the group of normalized units of the integral group ring of the finite group G, it must be isomorphic to a subgroup of G. The smallest groups known not to satisfy this property are the counterexamples to the Isomorphism Problem constructed by M. Her...
