Abstract

Let pp be a prime integer and n,in,i be positive integers such that \linebreak S={1, θ, μi=1+θ+...+θi1 1<i<pn2, gcd(pn,i)=1}S=\{-1, \ \theta, \ \mu_i=1+\theta+... + \theta^{i-1} \ \mid 1 < i < \frac{p^n}{2}, \ gcd(p^n,i)=1 \} generates the group of units of Z[θ],\mathbb{Z}[\theta], where θ\theta is a primitive pn{p^n}--thth root of unity. Denote by CpnC_{p^n} the cyclic group of order pn.p^n. In this paper we describe explicitly a multiplicatively independent set which generates a complement to ±Cpn\pm C_{p^n} in the group of units of the integral group ring of Cpn.C_{p^n}.
