Derivations of group rings for finite and FC groups
In this paper we establish decomposition theorems for derivations of group rings. We provide a topological technique for studying derivations of a group ring $A[G]$ in case $G$ has finite conjugacy classes. As a result, we describe all derivations of algebra $A[G]$ for the case when $G$ is a finite group, or $G$ is an FC-group. In addition, we describe an algorithm to explicitly calculate all derivations of a group ring $A[G]$ in case $G$ is finite. As examples, derivations of $\mathbb{Z}_4[S_3]$ and $\mathbb{F}_{2^m}D_{2n}$ are considered.
