Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$ and $G$ be a torsion free abelian group . Then the group ring $k[G]$ is an integral domain , let $k(G)$ denote its field of fractions . Then can we say anything about the transcendence degree of $k(G)$ over $F_p$ in terms of $k$ and/or $G$ ? What about the same question for field $k$ of characteristic $0$ ?
