This book focusses on unit groups of integral group rings of finite groups. Elementary techniques are introduced to give the reader a good intuition for the topic.
Klappentext
This two-volume graduate textbook gives a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of describing large subgroups of the unit group of the integral group ring of a finite group and, more generally, of the unit group of an order in a finite dimensional semisimple rational algebra. Supporting problems illustrate the results and complete some of the proofs. Volume 1 contains all details on describing generic constructions of units and their subgroups.
