Session 14. Group Rings and Related Topics

Describing unit groups of group rings in small examples

Matthias Kuenzer, University of Stuttgart, Germany
This talk is based on joint work with Markus Kirschmer
In some small examples, we use a Wedderburn embedding to describe the unit group of an integral group ring as an iterated extension of modular groups. The short exact sequences that occur are induced by projections to Wedderburn components.
