Hello,
I'd just like to point out that the unit group of a field is the field less the
additive identity, by definition - I'm not sure what field you are referring to
here. "Units( ZmodnZ( n ) )" is probably what Johannes wants. It returns a
group.
Yours,
Keshav

Hi,
I think Units( R ), where R is a ring, will return the unit
group of a ring R, which is a multiplicative group. A
field is a ring, so it should work. According to the GAP
manual (p. 568), it will be returned either as a list or
group. If the return is list, then you can always Group()
the list to make it a Group object.
Sincerely, Sandeep.
