Popis: | For each finite group G for which the integral group ring ℤG has only trivial units, we give ring-theoretic conditions for a commutative ring R under which the group ring RG has nontrivial units. Several examples of rings satisfying the conditions and rings not satisfying the conditions are given. In addition, we extend a well-known result for fields by showing that if R is a ring of finite characteristic and RG has only trivial units, then G has order at most 3. |
