Fuchs' problem for small groups

Joshua A. Carr, William J. Cook and Lindsey M. Wise

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 3, 441–463
Abstract

Fuchs’ problem asks which groups are realizable as the unit group of a ring. We solve Fuchs’ problem for dicyclic groups realized by finite rings. We also survey known results and give a complete list of realizable groups of order at most 15. For these realizable groups, we provide a ring in every viable characteristic. Consequently, we show the dicyclic group of order 12 is the smallest realizable group that cannot be realized by a finite ring.
