✦ Synopsis
Let G be any group with n elements, where n is a power of a prime or any product of prime powers, not divisible by 4. In this paper we ÿnd all nonisomorphic rings with its group of units isomorphic to G and also ÿnd all groups G with n elements which can be groups of units of a ÿnite ring. We say that a group G is indecomposable, if we cannot write G = HK for some proper, nontrivial subgroups H and K. We ÿnd all ÿnite rings with indecomposable, solvable group of units and ÿnd all ÿnite rings with G = 1+J , where J is the Jacobson radical of R. These results are obtained through a study of p-rings and idempotents in rings yielding decompositions of rings and decompositions of groups of units of rings into product of subgroups.

For a compact Hausdorff ring, one observes that the group of units is a totally disconnected compact topological group and is a finite simple group if and only if it possesses no nontrivial closed normal subgroups. Three classification theorems for compact rings are now given. First, those compact r
