Abstract

Let RR be a commutative ring, π\pi be a finite group, RπR\pi be the group ring of π\pi over RR. Theorem 1. If RR is a commutative artinian ring and π\pi is a finite group. Then the Cartan map c:K0(Rπ)G0(Rπ)c:K_0(R\pi)\to G_0(R\pi) is injective. Theorem 2. Suppose that RR is a Dedekind domain with \fncharR=p>0\fn{char}R=p>0 and π\pi is a pp-group. Then every finitely generated projective RπR\pi-module is isomorphic to FA¸F \oplus \c{A} where FF is a free module and A¸\c{A} is a projective ideal of RπR\pi. Moreover, RR is a principal ideal domain if and only if every finitely generated projective RπR\pi-module is isomorphic to a free module. Theorem 3. Let RR be a commutative noetherian ring with total quotient ring KK, AA be an RR-algebra which is a finitely generated RR-projective module. Suppose that II is an ideal of RR such that R/IR/I is artinian. Let {M¸1,,M¸n}\{\c{M}_1,\ldots,\c{M}_n\} be the set of all maximal ideals of RR containing II. Assume that the Cartan map ci:K0(A/M¸iA)G0(A/M¸iA)c_i: K_0(A/\c{M}_iA)\to G_0(A/\c{M}_iA) is injective for all 1in1\le i\le n. If PP and QQ are finitely generated AA-projective modules with KPKQKP\simeq KQ, then P/IPQ/IQP/IP\simeq Q/IQ.
