A classification of the finite two-generated cyclic-by-abelian groups of prime power order

We obtain a classification of the finite two-generated cyclic-by-abelian groups of prime-power order. For that we associate to each such group $G$ a list $\inv(G)$ of numerical group invariants which determines the isomorphism type of $G$. Then we describe the set formed by all the possible values of $\inv(G)$. This allows computer implementations for constructing all the finite-two generated cyclic-by-abelian groups of a given prime-power order, computing the invariants of such a group, and to decide whether two such groups are isomorphic.

Group algebras whose units satisfy a Laurent Polynomial Identity

Let $KG$ be the group algebra of a torsion group $G$ over a field $K$. We show that if the units of $KG$ satisfy a Laurent polynomial identity which is not satisfied by the units of the relative free algebra $K[α,β: α^2=β^2=0]$ then $KG$ satisfies a polynomial identity. This extends Hartley Conjecture which states that if the units of $KG$ satisfies a group identity then $KG$ satisfies a polynomial identity. As an application of our results we prove that if the units of $KG$ satisfies a Laurent polynomial identity with a support of cardinality at most 3 then $KG$ satisfies a polynomial identity.

Polynomials defining many units

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if the polynomial defines generic units in the sense of Marciniak and Sehgal. We also classify the polynomials with integral coefficients which provides units when evaluated on $n$-roots of a fixed integer $a$ for infinitely many positive integers $n$.

Group rings with Lie metabelian set of symmetric elements

Let $R$ be a commutative ring of characteristic zero and $G$ an arbitrary group. In the present paper we classify the groups $G$ for which the set of symmetric elements with respect to the classical involution of the group ring $RG$ is Lie metabelian.
