Idempotents in complex group rings: Theorems of Zalesskij and Bass revisited.
Suppose is a -mixed splitting abelian group and is a commutative unitary ring of zero characteristic such that the prime number satisfies . Then and are canonically isomorphic -group algebras for any group precisely when and are isomorphic groups. This statement strengthens results due to W. May published in J. Algebra (1976) and to W. Ullery published in Commun. Algebra (1986), Rocky Mt. J. Math. (1992) and Comment. Math. Univ. Carol. (1995).

If there exists a K-isomorphism KH ∼= KG for some group H, then it is shown that H ∼= G. Let G be a direct sum of cyclic groups, a divisible group or a simply presented torsion abelian group. Then KH ∼= KG as K-algebras...
