Review text

Let \(G\) be a group and define \(\Phi(G):=\{g\in G\mid|G:C_G(g)|\leq\infty\}\). The authors prove in this technical paper that any unit in the centre of the integral group ring \(\mathbb{Z} G\) can be written as a commuting product of a unit in the integral group ring of the torsion subgroup of \(\Phi(G)\) and an element in \(\Phi(G)\). Moreover, the authors construct for a group \(G\) for which the subgroup \(\Phi(G)\) is finitely generated a subgroup of finite index of the centre of the unit group of the integral group ring.
