Abstract

For any finite group G the group U(Z[G]) of units in the integral group ring Z[G]is an arithmetic group in a reductive algebraic group, namely the Zariski closure of SL1 (Q[G]). In particular, the isomorphism type of the Q-algebra Q[G] determines the commensurability class of U(Z[G]); we show that, to a large extent, the converse is true. In fact, subject to a certain restriction on the Q-representations of G the converse is exactly true.
