โœฆ Synopsis

This paper deals with the isomorphism problem for integral group rings of infinite groups. In the first part we answer a question of Mazur by giving conditions for the isomorphism problem to be true for integral group rings of groups that are a direct product of a finite group and a finitely generated free abelian group. It is also shown that the isomorphism problem for infinite groups is strongly related to the normalizer conjecture. Next we show that the automorphism conjecture holds for infinite finitely generated abelian groups G if and only if ZG has only trivial units. In the second part we partially answer a problem of Sehgal. It is shown that the class of a finitely generated nilpotent group G is determined by its integral group ring provided G has only odd torsion. When G has nilpotency class two then the finitely generated restriction is not needed. This, together with a result of Ritter and Sehgal, settles the isomorphism problem for finitely generated nilpotency class two groups. A link is pointed out between this problem and the dimension subgroup problem.

We classify the nilpotent finite groups G which are such that the unit group ลฝ .

It is also shown that nilpotent finite groups having this property can be characterised by means

We show that in the presence of suitable commutator estimates, a projective unitary representation of the Lie algebra of a connected and simply connected Lie group G exponentiates to G. Our proof does not assume G to be finite-dimensional or of Banach Lie type and therefore encompasses the diffeomor

Let \(G\) be a finite nilpotent group so that all simple components \((D)_{n \times n}, n \geq 2\) of \(Q G\) satisfy the congruence subgroup theorem. Suppose that for all odd primes \(p\) dividing \(|G|\) the Hamiltonian quaternions \(H\) split over the \(p\) th cyclotomic field \(Q\left(\zeta_{p}\
