Title: Stably free cancellation for orders
 

Abstract: A ring has the stably free cancellation property if every stably free module is free. We will discuss this property for orders in semisimple algebras and show how the question of whether an order has this property can be answered algorithmically. As an application we obtain new cancellation results for integral groups rings. This is joint work with Werner Bley and Henri Johnston.
