The trivial units conjecture for torsion-free groups

Let GG be a torsion-free group and let RR be an integral domain. The trivial units conjecture. GG satisfies the trivial units property for RR, meaning that the only units in the group ring R[G]R[G] are elements of the form rgrg, where g∈Gg\in G and rr is a unit of RR. The conjecture was refuted by Gardam; variants and extensions produced non-trivial units over fields of every characteristic, while the original formulation for integral group rings remains open.
