Abstract
We characterize the regular group algebras whose maximal right and left quotient rings coincide. In fact we prove that if K[G] is a regular group algebra, then Qr(K[G]) = Q1(K[G]) if and only if G is abelian-by-finite. This completes the result of Goursaud and Valette, that prove some special cases, namely when K either has positive characteristic or contains all roots of unity.
