Let 〈x〉 be an infinite cyclic group and Ri〈x〉 its group ring over a ring (with identity) Ri, for i = l and 2. Let J(Ri) be the Jacobson radical of Ri. In this note we study the question of whether or not R1〈x〉≃R2〈x〉 implies R1≃R2. We prove that this is so if Zi the centre of Ri is semi-perfect and J(Zi〈x〉) = J(Zi〈)x〉 for i = l and 2. In particular, when Zi is perfect the second condition is satisfied and the isomorphism of group rings Ri〈x〉 implies the isomorphism of Ri.
