Abstract
L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs posed the following question: which abelian groups arise as the group of units in a ring? In this paper, we investigate a related question: for such realizable groups , when is there a ring with unit group such that every group endomorphism of is induced by a ring endomorphism of ? We answer this question for four common classes of groups: torsion-free abelian groups, groups of odd order, torsion abelian groups, and finitely generated abelian groups.
