Abstract

Let KGKG denote the group algebra of the group GG over the field KK and let U(KG)U(KG) denote its group of units. Here without the use of a computer we give presentations for the unit groups of all group algebras KGKG, where the size of KGKG is less than 1024. As a consequence we find the minimum counterexample to the Isomorphism Problem for group algebras.
