Let U be the group of units of the group algebra FG of a group G over a field F. Suppose that either F is infinite or G has an element of infinite order. We characterize groups G so that U satisfies a group identity. Under the assumption that G modulo the torsion elements is nilpotent this gives a c

We study units of twisted group algebras. Let G be a finite group and K be a field of characteristic p > 0. Assume that K is not algebraic over a finite field. We determine when units of K t G do not contain any nonabelian free subgroup. We also discuss what will happen when G is locally finite. For

Let D be a division ring with centre k. We show that D contains the k-group algebra of the free group on two generators when D is the ring of fractions of a suitable skew polynomial ring, or it is generated by a polycyclic-by-finite group which is not abelian-by-finite, or it is the ring of fraction

We classify the nilpotent finite groups G which are such that the unit group Ž . U U ZG of the integral group ring ZG has a subgroup of finite index which is the direct product of noncyclic free groups. It is also shown that nilpotent finite groups having this property can be characterised by means

We classify all the finite groups G, such that the group of units of ZG contains a subgroup of finite index which is isomorphic to a direct product of nonabelian free Ž groups. This completes the work of Jespers, Leal, and del Rıo J. Algebra 180 Ž . . 1996 , 22᎐40 , where the nilpotent groups with
