Fuchs' problem for endomorphisms of nonabelian groups
Abstract
In 1960, L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs posed the problem of determining which groups are realizable as the group of units in some ring . In \cite{chebolu2022fuchs}, we investigated the following variant of Fuchs' problem, for abelian groups: which groups are realized by a ring where every group endomorphism of is induced by a ring endomorphism of ? Such groups are called fully realizable. In this paper, we answer the aforementioned question for several families of nonabelian groups: symmetric, dihedral, quaternion, alternating, and simple groups; almost cyclic -groups; and groups whose Sylow -subgroup is either cyclic or normal and abelian. We construct three infinite families of fully realizable nonabelian groups using iterated semidirect products.
