Abstract

This paper is devoted to the units of integral group rings of cyclic 22-groups of small orders, namely, the orders of 2n2^n for n<8n<8. Immediately we should note the issues our consideration describe in the introduction in more detail. Here we will indicate the main directions of our research. Previously, we proved that the normalized group of units of an integral group ring of a cyclic 2-group of order 2n2^n contains a subgroup of finite index, which is the direct product of the subgroup of units defined by the character with the largest character field and the subgroup of units that is isomorphic to the subgroup of units of the integer group ring of the cyclic 22-group of order 2n12^{n-1}. Because of this, it is very important to study the structure of the subgroup of units defined by the character with the largest field of characters, which is the cyclotomic field Q2nQ_{2^n} obtained by adjoining a primitive 2n2^nth root of unity to QQ, the field of rational number. That subgroup of units of an integral group ring of a cyclic 22-group is isomorphic to the subgroup of the group of units of the integer ring of the specified cyclotomic field. Therefore, the research of units of an integer group ring of a cyclic 22-group is reduced to study the properties of the group of units of the integer ring of the cyclotomic field Q2nQ_{2^n}. Thus, we will study of groups of circular units of integer rings of cyclotomic fields Q2nQ_{2^n} in large part.
