The isomorphism problem for integral group rings of finite groups

  • Chapter
Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Finite-Dimensional Algebras

Part of the book series: Progress in Mathematics ((PM,volume 95))

Abstract

The modern theory of groups originated with the treatments of Galois (1811–1832), Cauchy (1789–1857) and Serret (1819–1885) on finite discontinuous substitution groups.
