✦ Synopsis
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 .

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}\
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 generat
