Review text

Let \(F\) be a perfect field of characteristic \(p\) and let \(G\) be an Abelian \(p\)-group. Denote by \(F(G)\) the group algebra of the group \(G\) over the field \(F\) and by \(V(G)\) the group of normalized units (i.e., of augmentation 1) in \(F(G)\). Sections 1 and 2 of the paper are a brief survey dedicated to the following issues: 1) (direct factor problem) When is \(G\) a direct factor of \(V(G)\)? 2) (simply presented problem) When is \(V(G)/G\) simply presented? Section 3 presents a new characterization of simply presented Abelian \(p\)-groups. In Section 4, the author gives sufficient conditions under which \(V(G)/G\) is simply presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00018].
