Unit groups of cube radical zero commutative completely primary finite rings (Q2570966)

Summary: A completely primary finite ring is a ring \(R\) with identity \(1 \neq 0\) whose subset of all its zero divisors forms the unique maximal ideal \(J\). Let \(R\) be a commutative completely primary finite ring with the unique maximal ideal \(J\) such that \(J^3=(0)\) and \(J^2\neq(0)\). Then \(R/J\cong\text{GF}(p^r)\) and the characteristic of \(R\) is \(p^k\), where \(1\leq k\leq 3\), for some prime \(p\) and positive integer \(r\). Let \(R_0=\text{GR}(p^{kr},p^k)\) be a Galois subring of \(R\) and let the annihilator of \(J\) be \(J^2\) so that \(R=R_0\bigoplus U\bigoplus V\), where \(U\) and \(V\) are finitely generated \(R_0\)-modules. Let nonnegative integers \(s\) and \(t\) be numbers of elements in the generating sets for \(U\) and \(V\), respectively. When \(s=2\), \(t=1\), and the characteristic of \(R\) is \(p\); and when \(t=s(s+1)/2\), for any fixed \(s\), the structure of the group of units \(R^*\) of the ring \(R\) and its generators are determined; these depend on the structural matrices \((a_{ij})\) and on the parameters \(p,k,r\), and \(s\).
