Integral group rings of solvable groups with trivial central units

Abstract

The integral group ring ZG\mathbb{Z} G of a group GG has only trivial central units, if the only central units of ZG\mathbb{Z} G are ±z\pm z for zz in the center of GG. We show that the order of a finite solvable group GG with this property, can only have 22, 33, 55 and 77 as prime divisors, by linking this to inverse semi-rational groups and extending one result on this class of groups. We also classify the Frobenius groups whose integral group rings have only trivial central units.
