A strong Gelfand pair is a pair [Formula: see text], of finite groups such that the Schur ring determined by the [Formula: see text]-classes [Formula: see text], is a commutative ring. We find all strong Gelfand pairs [Formula: see text]. We also define an extra strong Gelfand pair [Formula: see text], this being a strong Gelfand pair of maximal dimension, and show that in this case [Formula: see text] must be abelian.

A circulant graph $G$ of order $n$ is a Cayley graph over the cyclic group ${\bf Z}_n.$ Equivalently, $G$ is circulant iff its vertices can be ordered such that the corresponding adjacency matrix becomes a circulant matrix. To each circulant graph we may associate a coherent configuration ${\cal A}$ and, in particular, a Schur ring ${\cal S}$ isomorphic to ${\cal A}$. ${\cal A}$ can be associated without knowing $G$ to be circulant. If $n$ is prime, then by investigating the structure of ${\cal A}$ either we are able to find an appropriate ordering of the vertices proving that $G$ is circulant or we are able to prove that a certain necessary condition for $G$ being circulant is violated. The algorithm we propose in this paper is a recognition algorithm for cyclic association schemes. It runs in time polynomial in $n$.

Let (Q,.) be a finite quasigroup, i.e. a finite set Q with a binary operation. called multiplication such that in the equation x.y = z any two elements determine the third uniquely. Then the mappings R(x): Q → Q; q ↦ q.x and L(x): Q → Q; q ↦ x.q are permutations of Q. The multiplication group G of Q is the subgroup of the symmetric group on Q generated by {R(x), L(x) | x ∈ Q}. If S is a field, G has a faithful representation Ḡ by permutation matrices acting on the S-vector space with Q as basis. The set of matrices commuting with Ḡ forms an S-algebra (under the usual operations) called the centraliser ring V(G, Q) of G on Q. The purpose of this note is to show how the permutation-theoretic object ‘centraliser ring’ may be expressed in terms of the quasigroup structure of Q, both to prepare one tool for the long-term programme of classifying finite quasigroups by means of their multiplication groups, and for comparison with the Schur ring method of group theory.

A Schur ring [Formula: see text] is called Dedekind if the formal sum of every [Formula: see text]-subgroup is in the center of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we find all finite groups [Formula: see text] such that every proper Schur ring over [Formula: see text] is Dedekind. As a corollary of our main theorem, we find all finite groups [Formula: see text] such that every proper Schur ring over [Formula: see text] is commutative.

In (1) we considered finite primitive permutation groups G with regular abelian subgroups H satisfying the following hypothesis:(*) H = A × B × C, where A is cyclic of prime power order pα ≠ 4, B has exponent pβ < pα, and C has order prime to p.We remark that an abelian group fails to satisfy (*) (apart from the minor exception associated with the prime 2) if and only if it is the direct product of two subgroups of the same exponent.We showed in (1) that such a group G is doubly transitive unless it is the direct product of two or more subgroups each of the same order greater than 2. This was done by showing that (in the terminology of (3)) the existence of a non-trivial primitive Schur ring over H implies such a direct decomposition of H.

A Schur ring over a finite group is said to be decomposable if it is the generalized wreath product of Schur rings over smaller groups. In this paper we establish a sufficient condition for a decomposable Schur ring over the direct product of elementary abelian groups to be a CI-Schur ring. By using this condition we offer short proofs for some known results on the CI-property for decomposable Schur rings over an elementary abelian group of rank at most 5.
