Abstract: In 1960 Fuchs posed the problem of characterizing the groups which are the groups of units of commutative rings. In the following years, some partial answers have been given to this question in particular cases. In this paper we address Fuchs' question for {it finitely generated abelian} groups and we consider the problem of characterizing those groups which arise in some fixed classes of rings $mathcalC$, namely the integral domains, the torsion free rings and the reduced rings. To determine the realizable groups we have to establish what finite abelian groups $T$ (up to isomorphism) occur as torsion subgroup of $A^{\ast }$ when $A$ varies in $mathcalC$, and on the other hand, we have to determine what are the possible values of the rank of $A^{\ast }$ when $(A^{\ast }{)}_{tors}congT$. Most of the paper is devoted to the study of the class of torsion-free rings, which needs a substantially deeper study.
