Abstract
We obtain restrictions on units of even order in the integral group ring of a finite group by studying their actions on the reductions modulo of lattices over the -adic group ring . This improves the "lattice method" which considers reductions modulo primes , but is of limited use for essentially due to the fact that . Our methods yield results in cases where has blocks whose defect groups are Klein four groups or dihedral groups of order . This allows us to disprove the existence of units of order for almost simple groups with socle where and to answer the Prime Graph Question affirmatively for many such groups.
