Abstract

The module cancellation problem asks whether, given modules X. X0 and Y over a ring Λ, the existence of an isomorphism X ⊕ Y ∼= X0 ⊕ Y implies that X ∼= X0 . When Λ is the integral group ring of a metacyclic group G(p, q) results of Klingler [9] show that the answer to this question is generally negative. By contrast in this case we show that cancellation holds when Y = Λ and X is a generalized Swan module.
