Group rings with FC-nilpotent unit groups.

Vikas Bist (1991)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let U(RG) be the unit group of the group ring RG. Groups G such that U(RG) is FC-nilpotent are determined, where R is the ring of integers Z or a field K of characteristic zero.

Idempotents and the multiplicative group of some totally bounded rings

Mohamed A. Salim, Adela Tripe (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we extend some results of D. Dolzan on finite rings to profinite rings, a complete classification of profinite commutative rings with a monothetic group of units is given. We also prove the metrizability of commutative profinite rings with monothetic group of units and without nonzero Boolean ideals. Using a property of Mersenne numbers, we construct a family of power 2 0 commutative non-isomorphic profinite semiprimitive rings with monothetic group of units.

Isomorphism of commutative group algebras of p -mixed splitting groups over rings of characteristic zero

Peter Vassilev Danchev (2006)

Mathematica Bohemica

Suppose G is a p -mixed splitting abelian group and R is a commutative unitary ring of zero characteristic such that the prime number p satisfies p inv ( R ) zd ( R ) . Then R ( H ) and R ( G ) are canonically isomorphic R -group algebras for any group H precisely when H and G 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).

Nil-clean and unit-regular elements in certain subrings of 𝕄 2 ( )

Yansheng Wu, Gaohua Tang, Guixin Deng, Yiqiang Zhou (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

An element in a ring is clean (or, unit-regular) if it is the sum (or, the product) of an idempotent and a unit, and is nil-clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. Firstly, we show that Jacobson’s lemma does not hold for nil-clean elements in a ring, answering a question posed by Koşan, Wang and Zhou (2016). Secondly, we present new counter-examples to Diesl’s question whether a nil-clean element is clean in a ring. Lastly, we give new examples of unit-regular elements that are...

Collectanea Mathematica

We give some criteria of normability of an S-ring, and we study the properties of its norms.

On commutative twisted group rings

Todor Zh. Mollov, Nako A. Nachev (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

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 ( R t G ) are the p -components of G and of the unit group U ( R t G ) of R t G , respectively. Let R * be the multiplicative group of R and let f α ( S ) be the α -th Ulm-Kaplansky invariant of S ( R t G ) where α is any ordinal. In the paper the invariants f n ( S ) , n { 0 } , are calculated, provided G p = 1 . Further, a commutative ring R with identity of prime characteristic p is said...

On free subgroups of units in quaternion algebras

Jan Krempa (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is well known that for the ring H(ℤ) of integral quaternions the unit group U(H(ℤ) is finite. On the other hand, for the rational quaternion algebra H(ℚ), its unit group is infinite and even contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In this note (see Theorem 1.5 and Corollary 2.6) we find all intermediate rings ℤ ⊂ A ⊆ ℚ such that the group of units U(H(A)) of quaternions over A contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In each case we indicate such a subgroup explicitly. We do our best to keep the arguments...

On free subgroups of units in quaternion algebras II

Jan Krempa (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let A ⊆ ℚ be any subring. We extend our earlier results on unit groups of the standard quaternion algebra H(A) to units of certain rings of generalized quaternions H(A,a,b) = ((-a,-b)/A), where a,b ∈ A. Next we show that there is an algebra embedding of the ring H(A,a,b) into the algebra of standard Cayley numbers over A. Using this embedding we answer a question asked in the first part of this paper.

On groups of similitudes in associative rings

Evgenii L. Bashkirov (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let R be an associative ring with 1 and R × the multiplicative group of invertible elements of R . In the paper, subgroups of R × which may be regarded as analogues of the similitude group of a non-degenerate sesquilinear reflexive form and of the isometry group of such a form are defined in an abstract way. The main result states that a unipotent abstractly defined similitude must belong to the corresponding abstractly defined isometry group.
