Abstract

Let p=3d+1p=3d+1 be prime in which (Z/pZ)×=2,3(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^\times=\langle 2,\,3\rangle, and let Λ=Z[CpC3]\Lambda=\mathbb{Z}[C_p\rtimes C_3] be the integral group ring of the metacyclic group G(p,3)G(p,\,3) of order 3p3p. The syzygies Ωr(Z)\Omega_r(\mathbb{Z}) are the stable classes of intermediate modules in a free Λ\Lambda-resolution of the trivial module. We discuss explicitly the interaction of the syzygies under Z-\otimes_\mathbb{Z}- and relate this to Wall's D(2)\mathcal{D}(2)-problem.
