Let G be an Abelian group, the symmetric algebra of G and the associated graded ring of the integral group ring ZG, where (AG denotes the augmentation ideal of ZG). Then there is a natural epimorphism (4)
which is given on the nth component by
In general θ is not an isomorphism. In fact Bachmann and Grünenfelder(1) have shown that for finite Abelian G, θ is an isomorphism if and only if G is cyclic. Thus it is of interest to investigate ker θn for finite Abelian groups. In view of proposition 3.25 of (3) it is enough to consider finite Abelian p-groups.
