The algebraic structure of group rings

Donald S. Passman0471022721, 9780471022725

Group rings are easily defined, rather attractive algebraic objects. As the name implies, their study is a meeting place for two essentially different disciplines, the methods and results being a blending of group theory and ring theory. This book offers a comprehensive, self-contained treatment of group rings of infinite groups. The reprint edition contains an appendix which describes some recent developments in the field.
