Speaker: Sunil K. Chebolu (Illinois State University) Title: "Recent progress on a problem posed by Laszlo Fuchs" Room: MC 107 Abstract: More than 50 years ago, Laszlo Fuchs asked which abelian groups can be the group of units of a commutative ring. Though progress has been made, the question remains open. We answer this question in the case of indecomposable abelian groups by classifying the indecomposable abelian groups that are realizable as the group of units of a ring of any given characteristic. This is joint work (arXiv:1505.03508) with Keir Lockridge |
