Revisiting the Zassenhaus conjecture on torsion units for the integral group rings of small groups. (Q2354955)

The authors study the well-known Zassenhaus conjecture for the integral group ring of a finite group, namely, that a torsion normalized unit is conjugate to some group element in the rational group algebra applying a method due to I. S. Luthar and I. B. S. Passi. Recently \textit{V. Bovdi} and \textit{A. Konovalov} [J. Algebra Appl. 11, No. 1, Article ID 1250016 (2012; Zbl 1247.16032)], in a series of papers, have studied the conjecture for sporadic simple groups by the same method. \textit{C. Höfert} and \textit{W. Kimmerle} [Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 248, 243-252 (2006; Zbl 1107.16031)] established the conjecture for all groups of order at most 71, in the present paper the same is done for all but two groups of order less than 96 by computer aided calculations. For the two exceptional groups, of order 48 and 72, a new construction is given of normalized torsion units in the rational group algebra not conjugate to units in the integral group ring.
