Abstract

Let RR be a ring with char(R)2char(R)\neq2 whose unit group are denoted by U(R)\mathcal{U}(R), GG a group, and RGRG its group ring. Let * be an involution in GG, σ:GU(R)\sigma:G\rightarrow\mathcal{U}(R) be a nontrivial group homomorphism, with ker σ=Nker\ \sigma=N, satisfying xxNxx^*\in N for all xGx\in G, and define the generalized oriented involution σ\sigma* in RGRG by (xGαxx)σ=xGσ(x)αxx\left( \sum_{x\in G}\alpha_xx\right)^{\sigma*}=\sum_{x\in G}\sigma(x)\alpha_xx^*. An element αRG\alpha\in RG is called skew-symmetric if ασ=α\alpha^{\sigma *}=-\alpha, and the set of all skew-symmetric elements are denoted by (RG)(RG)^-. In this paper, we will classify the group rings RGRG such that (RG)(RG)^- is anticommutative, generalizing, and obtaining as consequence, the main result of \cite{GP13a}.
