Dec 9, 2021 at 13:34 comment added YCor The Krull dimension of $\mathbf{Z}[\mathbf{Z}^d]$ is $d+1$. And also for every torsion-free abelian group $G$, the group of units of $\mathbf{Z}[G]/2\mathbf{Z}[G]$ is reduced to $G$ (as mentioned by Benjamin Steinberg, this extends to the case when $G$ is left-orderable).

Dec 9, 2021 at 13:32 comment added Benjamin Steinberg Sorry, for free abelian this is easier but it is true for any abelian groups. Free abelian groups are left orderable and so satisfy the Kaplansky unit conjecture. You can find in Passman's group ring book that if $G_1$ satisfies the Kaplansky unit conjecture and $\mathbb ZG_1\cong \mathbb ZH$ then $G_1\cong H$.

Dec 9, 2021 at 9:21 comment added Jeremy Rickard @NarutakaOZAWA I think you want to count homomorphisms to $\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ rather than to $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. For any $G$ there's only one ring homomorphism $\mathbb{Z}[G]\to\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$.

Dec 9, 2021 at 3:17 comment added Narutaka OZAWA I don't know a reference, but can count $\operatorname{Hom}(\mathbb{Z}[G],\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$.
