Abstract

We prove that for finitely generated abelian groups AA and BB, the space of E\mathbb{E}_\infty-ring maps between the spherical groups rings S[A]S[B]\mathbb{S}[A] \to \mathbb{S}[B] is equivalent to the discrete set of group homomorphisms ABA \to B. We also prove generalizations where the sphere is replaced by other ring spectra, e.g. we give a formula for the strict units in group rings of the form R[A]R[A] for AA a finite pp-group and RR pp-completely chromatically complete.
