Abstract: The algebras of Kleinian type are finite dimensional semisimple rational algebras $A$ such that the group of units of an order in $A$ is commensurable with a direct product of Kleinian groups. We classify the Schur algebras of Kleinian type and the group algebras of Kleinian type. As an application, we characterize the group rings $RG$, with $R$ an order in a number field and $G$ a finite group, such that $R{G}^{\ast }$ is virtually a direct product of free-by-free groups.

Review text

The algebras of Kleinian type are finite-dimensional semisimple rational algebras \(A\) such that the group of units of an order in \(A\) is commensurable with a direct product of Kleinian groups. In this paper, the authors classify the Schur algebras of Kleinian type and the group algebras of Kleinian type. As an application, a characterization is given of the group rings \(RG\), with \(R\) an order in a number field and \(G\) a finite group, such that the group of units of \(RG\) is virtually a direct product of free-by-free groups. This work relies on and is a continuation of earlier investigations, by \textit{E. Jespers, A. Pita, Á. del Río, M. Ruiz} and \textit{P. Zalesskii} [Adv. Math. 212, No. 2, 692-722 (2007; Zbl 1120.16029)], in the case of rational group algebras and the unit group of integral group rings.
