Linear identities in group rings. II

Donald Steven Passman

Vol. 36 (1971), No. 2, 485–505
Abstract

In this paper we continue our study of linear identities satisfied by group rings. An algebra E is said to have a polynomial part if E has an idempotent e such that eEe satisfies a polynomial identity. Let K[G] be the group ring of G over K and suppose that this ring is semiprime. If Δ denotes the finite conjugate subgroup of G, then we show that K[G] has a polynomial part if and only if [G : Δ] < and |Δ′| < .
