| May 26, 2012 at 18:40 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | @Geoff: Thanks for the wider perspective on this area of research. I was commenting more narrowly just on the positive solution of the isomorphism problem for group rings given for certain groups by Roggenkamp and Scott (though their work goes farther than this problem). | |
| May 26, 2012 at 5:36 | comment | added | Geoff Robinson | Roughly speaking (for one possible direction of application) It is sometimes possible to show the existence of central units in integral or modular group rings which, if they could be shown to be genuine group elements, would give a proof of some interesting general group-theoretic conjectures. | |
| May 26, 2012 at 0:07 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | My recollection (not precise) is that S.K. Sehgal wrote an older book, which is probably outdated in many directions, but also co-authored a more recent textbook which includes much of the work on group rings and related matters. | |
