Classgroups of Group Rings

Klappentext This book is a self-contained account of the theory of classgroups of group rings. Zusammenfassung This book is a self-contained account of the theory of classgroups of group rings. The guiding philosophy has been to describe all the basic properties of such classgroups in terms of character functions. This point of view is due to A. Frohlich and it achieves a considerable simplification and clarity over previous techniques. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Frölich's description of classgroups; 2. Character Action; 3. Swan modules; 4. Reduction thoery; 5. Torsion determinants; 6. The group logarithm; 7. Swan modules, classgroups of exceptional groups; 8. The Extension theorum for KoT; 9. Adams operations for classgroups.
