Let $S\left(RG\right)$ be a normed Sylow $p$-subgroup in a group ring $RG$ of an abelian group $G$ with $p$-component $G_p$ and a $p$-basic subgroup $B$ over a commutative unitary ring $R$ with prime characteristic $p$. The first central result is that $1+I(RG;B_p)+I(R\left(p^i\right)G;G)$ is basic in $S\left(RG\right)$ and $B[1+I(RG;B_p)+I(R\left(p^i\right)G;G)]$ is $p$-basic in $V\left(RG\right)$, and $[1+I(RG;B_p)+I(R\left(p^i\right)G;G)]G_p/G_p$ is basic in $S\left(RG\right)/G_p$ and $[1+I(RG;B_p)+I(R\left(p^i\right)G;G)]G/G$ is $p$-basic in $V\left(RG\right)/G$, provided in both cases $G/G_p$ is $p$-divisible and $R$ is such that its maximal perfect subring $R^{p^i}$ has no nilpotents whenever $i$ is natural. The second major result is that $B(1+I(RG;B_p))$ is $p$-basic in $V\left(RG\right)$ and $(1+I(RG;B_p))G/G$ is $p$-basic...

Suppose $F$ is a perfect field of $\mathrm{c}harF=p\ne 0$ and $G$ is an arbitrary abelian multiplicative group with a $p$-basic subgroup $B$ and $p$-component $G_p$. Let $FG$ be the group algebra with normed group of all units $V\left(FG\right)$ and its Sylow $p$-subgroup $S\left(FG\right)$, and let $I_p(FG;B)$ be the nilradical of the relative augmentation ideal $I(FG;B)$ of $FG$ with respect to $B$. The main results that motivate this article are that $1+I_p(FG;B)$ is basic in $S\left(FG\right)$, and $B(1+I_p(FG;B))$ is $p$-basic in $V\left(FG\right)$ provided $G$ is $p$-mixed. These achievements extend in some way a result of N. Nachev (1996)...

Let $G$ be a $p$-mixed abelian group and $R$ is a commutative perfect integral domain of $charR=p>0$. Then, the first main result is that the group of all normalized invertible elements $V\left(RG\right)$ is a $\Sigma$-group if and only if $G$ is a $\Sigma$-group. In particular, the second central result is that if $G$ is a $\Sigma$-group, the $R$-algebras isomorphism $RA\cong RG$ between the group algebras $RA$ and $RG$ for an arbitrary but fixed group $A$ implies $A$ is a $p$-mixed abelian $\Sigma$-group and even more that the high subgroups of $A$ and $G$ are isomorphic, namely,...

Let G be an infinite abelian p-group and let K be a field of the first kind with respect to p of characteristic different from p such that $s_p\left(K\right)=\mathbb{N}$ or $s_p\left(K\right)=\mathbb{N}\cup 0$. The main result of the paper is the computation of the Ulm-Kaplansky functions of the factor group S(KG)/G of the normalized Sylow p-subgroup S(KG) in the group ring KG modulo G. We also characterize the basic subgroups of S(KG)/G by proving that they are isomorphic to S(KB)/B, where B is a basic subgroup of G.

Let $G$ be an abelian group, $R$ a commutative ring of prime characteristic $p$ with identity and $R_{t}G$ a commutative twisted group ring of $G$ over $R$. Suppose $p$ is a fixed prime, $G_p$ and $S\left(R_{t}G\right)$ are the $p$-components of $G$ and of the unit group $U\left(R_{t}G\right)$ of $R_{t}G$, respectively. Let $R^{*}$ be the multiplicative group of $R$ and let $f_{\alpha }\left(S\right)$ be the $\alpha$-th Ulm-Kaplansky invariant of $S\left(R_{t}G\right)$ where $\alpha$ is any ordinal. In the paper the invariants $f_n\left(S\right)$, $n\in \mathbb{N}\cup \left\{0\right\}$, are calculated, provided $G_p=1$. Further, a commutative ring $R$ with identity of prime characteristic...
