Abstract

Let G be a finite group, and let IG be the augmentation ideal of ℤG. We denote by d(G) the minimum number of generators for the group G, and by d(IG) the minimum number of elements of IG needed to generate IG as a G-module. The connection between d(G) and d(IG) is given by the following result due to Roggenkamp ]14&]:

formula here

where pr(G) is a non-negative integer, called the presentation rank of G, whose definition comes from the study of relation modules (see [4&] for more details).
