Group rings and dimensions Semester SoSe 2026
Lecturer Clara Löh/F. Hofmann/M. Wasmeier
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Seminar
German title Gruppenringe und Dimensionen
Contents Group rings combine the multiplicative structure of a group with a base ring. They appear naturally in many algebraic and topological situations. Despite their simple definition, even basic questions about group rings (e.g., on the existence of non-trivial zero divisors) easily lead to surprising challenges.
In this seminar, we will study elementary algebraic properties of group rings and learn about embeddings of group rings into rings with better algebraic properties. In particular, we will discuss the Kaplansky conjectures, the von Neumann dimension, and the Atiyah conjecture.
Recommended previous knowledge Most of the talks will be accessible with basic knowledge on groups, rings, and modules. Some of the talks benefit from experience in analysis, topology or homological algebra.
