On the automorphism group of the integral group ring of the infinite dihedral group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
Let ℤ(G) be the integral group ring of the infinite dihedral group G; the aim is to calculate Autℤ(G), the group of Z-linear automorphisms of ℤ(G). It is shown that Aut ℤ(G), the subgroup of Aut *ℤ(G) consisting of those automorphisms that preserve elementwise the centre of ℤ(G), is a normal subgroup of Aut *ℤ(G) of index 2 and that Aut*ℤ(G) may be embedded monomorphically into M2(ℤ[t]), the ring of 2 × 2 matrices over a polynomial ring ℤ[t] From this embedding and by the Noether—Skolem Theorem it is shown that Inn (G), the group of inner automorphisms of ℤ(G) induced by the units of ℤ(G), is a normal subgroup of Aut*ℤ(G)/ such that Aut*ℤ(G)/Inn (G) is isomorphic to the Klein four-group.
