Are these element in a group algebra of a torsion-free group zero divisors?
Let $G$ be an arbitrary torsion-free group. For $x,y\in G$, which of these elements can be decided immediately not to be zero divisors in $\mathbb ZG$ (or in $\mathbb CG$)?
$$1+x+y,\quad 4+x+x^{-1}+y+...

The influence of the derived subgroup of the unit group of a group algebra
Let $FG$ be a group algebra in which $K$ is a field and $G$ is a group. Suppose that every element in the derived subgroup $\mathcal{U}(FG)'$ of the unit group $\mathcal{U}(FG)$ of $FG$ is a ...
