| Constructing free groups in modular group algebras |
We investigate the existence (and construction) of free pairs of units
in the unit group of a (modular) group algebra KG. We generalise a
result of Goncalves/Passman to do this, and use the programming package
GAP to investigate the units of
, where t is an
element transcendental over 
.
