Abstract
Let G be a group, ZG the integral group ring of G and I(G) its augmentation ideal. Recall that I(G) is the kernel of the ring homomorphism ∈: ZG → Z given by ∈(∑n i g i ) = ∑n i , n i ∈ Z, g i ∈ G, and it is generated as a free Z-module by the elements g - 1, g ∈ G, g ≠ e. For n ≥ 1, In(G) denote the nth associative power of I(G). For an ideal J of ZG, let G ∩ (1 + J) = {x ∈ G/x - 1 ∈ J}. Observe that for x, y ∈ G ∩ (1+ J), z ∈ G,
and
which imply that G ∩ (1 + J) is a normal subgroup of G. This subgroup is called the subgroup of G determined by the ideal J of ZG. When J = In(G), n ≥ 1, the subgroup G ∩ (1 + In(G)) = D n (G) is called the nth integral dimension subgroup of G and as been well studied during the last forty years—but we donot discuss this problem here (cf. Gupta, 1987; Gupta et al., 1984; Gupta and Kuzmin-unpublished; Passi et al., 1968, 1974, 1979, 1987, 1983; and Sandling 1972a & b; the list of references for dimension subgroups is by no means exhaustive).
