The graded-ring generalization of Kaplansky's conjectures

Let GG be a torsion-free group and let RR be a unital GG-graded ring whose GG-gradation is non-degenerate. If ReR_e is a domain, then GG is said to satisfy the graded-ring generalization of Kaplansky's conjectures when the following assertions hold:

Graded-ring generalization of Kaplansky's conjectures. Every unit in RR is homogeneous, RR is a domain, and every idempotent in RR is trivial.

This conjecture extends the corresponding assertions for group rings to non-degenerate gradations. The paper establishes these assertions in several important cases, including unique product groups, commutative rings, and central elements; the general torsion-free case remains open.
