The Unit Group of Small Group Algebras and the Minimum Counterexample to the Isomorphism Problem

Abstract

Let $KG$ denote the group algebra of the group $G$ over the field $K$ and let $U(KG)$ denote its group of units. Here without the use of a computer we give presentations for the unit groups of all group algebras $KG$, where the size of $KG$ is less than 1024. As a consequence we find the minimum counterexample to the Isomorphism Problem for group algebras.
