    For a finite group GG, let Z~\tilde{\mathbb{Z}} be the semilocalization of Z\mathbb{Z} at the prime divisors of G|G|. If GG is a Frobenius group with Frobenius kernel KK, it is shown that each torsion unit in the group ring Z~G\tilde{\mathbb{Z}} G which maps to the identity under the natural ring homomorphism Z~GZ~G/K\tilde{\mathbb{Z}} G \rightarrow \tilde{\mathbb{Z}} G/K is conjugate to an element of GG by a unit in Z~G\tilde{\mathbb{Z}} G.Comment: 8 page

    We confirm a conjecture of Zassenhaus about rational conjugacy of torsion units in integral group rings for a covering group of the symmetric group S5 and for the general linear group GLð2; 5Þ. The first result, together with others from the literature, settles the conjugacy question for units of prime-power order in the integral group ring of a finite Frobenius group
