Abstract

A ring has stably free cancellation when every stably free -module is free. Let G = Cp Cq be a finite metacyclic group where p is an odd prime and q is a positive integral divisor of p − 1. We show that the group ring R[G] has stably free cancellation when R = Z[t1, t −1 1 ,... tm, t−1 m , x1,... xn] is a ring of mixed polynomials and Laurent polynomials over the integers. As a consequence, when C(m) ∞ is the free abelian group of rank m then the integral group ring Z[G(p, q) × C(m) ∞ ] has stably free cancellation.
