Functors on Finite Vector Spaces and Units in Abelian Group Rings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
If A is an elementary abelian group, let (A) denote the group of units, modulo torsion, of the group ring Z[A]. We study (A) by means of the composite
where C and B run over all cyclic subgroups and factor-groups, respectively. This map, γ, is known to be injective; its index, too, is known. In this paper, we determine the rank of γ tensored (over Z);with various fields. Our main result depends only on the functoriality of
