Abstract:
In this article we study the relations between the units of character fields and
the central units of integer group rings. The object of interest in this paper is finding
of the exponents of unit groups of factor rings of the integer rings by principal ideals
generated by natural numbers. In some cases we obtain the exact values of such
exponents, and in the remaining cases their upper bounds. This leads to some results
on divisibility of the Higman numbers.
Keywords:central units of integer group rings, Higman number, character of
finite group.
