Criteria for unit groups in commutative group rings. (English) Zbl 1120.16302

Summary: Suppose \(G\) is an arbitrary Abelian group and \(F\) is a field of \(\text{char\,}F=p\neq 0\). In the present paper criteria are found the group of all units \(UF[G]\) in the group ring \(F[G]\) and its subgroup \(VF[G]\) of normed units to belong to some central classes of Abelian groups under minimal restrictions on \(F\) and \(G\).
