Extract

Let Z(Γ) be the integral groupring of a finite Abelian group Γ. There is some interest in the study of its class group (Picard group) C(Z(Γ)) (cf. e.g. [1] and [5]). One knows that this group is mapped surjectively onto the class group of the maximal order in the rational groupring Q(Γ). Now is known in the sense that it is the product of the classgroups of the algebraic integer rings, whose quotient fields appear in the decomposition of Q(Γ). One is thus also interested in the kernel D(Z(Γ)) of the map , and it is this which concerns us here. I shall show that it can become very big.
