Laszlo Fuchs posed the following problem in 1960, which remains open: classify the abelian groups occurring as the group of all units in a commutative ring. In this note, we provide an elementary solution to a simpler, related problem: find…

L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs posed the following question: which abelian groups arise as the group of units in a ring? In this paper, we investigate a related question: for such realizable groups $G$, when is there a ring $R$ with unit group $G$…

More than 50 years ago, Laszlo Fuchs asked which abelian groups can be the group of units of a ring. Though progress has been made, the question remains open. One could equally well pose the question for various classes of nonabelian…

In 1960, L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs posed the problem of determining which groups $G$ are realizable as the group of units in some ring $R$. In \cite{chebolu2022fuchs}, we investigated the following variant of Fuchs' problem, for abelian groups:…

A classical problem, raised by Fuchs in 1960, asks to classify the abelian groups which are groups of units of some rings. In this paper, we consider the case of finitely generated abelian groups, solving Fuchs' problem for such group with…

Which groups can occur as the group of units in a ring? Such groups are called realizable. Though the realizable members of several classes of groups have been determined (e.g., cyclic, odd order, alternating, symmetric, finite simple,…

Which groups can be the group of units in a ring? This open question, posed by L\'{a}szl\'{o} Fuchs in 1960, has been studied by the authors and others with a variety of restrictions on either the class of groups or the class of rings under…

An $S$-ring (a Schur ring) is said to be separable with respect to a class of groups $\mathcal{K}$ if every algebraic isomorphism from the $S$-ring in question to an $S$-ring over a group from $\mathcal{K}$ is induced by a combinatorial…

An abelian group is said to be aleph_1-free if all its countable subgroups are free. Our main result is: If R is a ring with R^+ free and |R|<lambda <= 2^{aleph_0}, then there exists an aleph_1-free abelian group G of cardinality lambda…
