2 The Schur theorem Let Γ be a permutation group with a regular subgroup G: Γ Sym(G).
3 The Schur theorem Let Γ be a permutation group with a regular subgroup G: Γ Sym(G). Let e be the identity of G, Γ e the stabilizer of e in Γ,
4 The Schur theorem Let Γ be a permutation group with a regular subgroup G: Γ Sym(G). Let e be the identity of G, Γ e the stabilizer of e in Γ, and A = A(Γ, G) = Span Z {X : X Orb(Γ e, G)} where X = x X x.
5 The Schur theorem Let Γ be a permutation group with a regular subgroup G: Γ Sym(G). Let e be the identity of G, Γ e the stabilizer of e in Γ, and A = A(Γ, G) = Span Z {X : X Orb(Γ e, G)} where X = x X x. Theorem (Schur, 1933) The module A is a subring of the group ring ZG.
6 The Schur theorem Let Γ be a permutation group with a regular subgroup G: Γ Sym(G). Let e be the identity of G, Γ e the stabilizer of e in Γ, and A = A(Γ, G) = Span Z {X : X Orb(Γ e, G)} where X = x X x. Theorem (Schur, 1933) The module A is a subring of the group ring ZG. When Γ e Aut(G), the ring A is called cyclotomic.

10 Schur rings: definition A ring A ZG is an S-ring over the group G, if there exists a partition S = S(A) of it, such that 1 {e} S, 2 X S X 1 S, 3 A = Span Z {X : X S}.
11 Schur rings: definition A ring A ZG is an S-ring over the group G, if there exists a partition S = S(A) of it, such that 1 {e} S, 2 X S X 1 S, 3 A = Span Z {X : X S}. An S-ring A is called schurian, if A = A(Γ, G) for some Γ.
12 Schur rings: definition A ring A ZG is an S-ring over the group G, if there exists a partition S = S(A) of it, such that 1 {e} S, 2 X S X 1 S, 3 A = Span Z {X : X S}. An S-ring A is called schurian, if A = A(Γ, G) for some Γ. Wielandt (1966): Schur had conjectured for a long time that every S-ring is determined by a suitable permutation group.
13 Schur rings: definition A ring A ZG is an S-ring over the group G, if there exists a partition S = S(A) of it, such that 1 {e} S, 2 X S X 1 S, 3 A = Span Z {X : X S}. An S-ring A is called schurian, if A = A(Γ, G) for some Γ. Wielandt (1966): Schur had conjectured for a long time that every S-ring is determined by a suitable permutation group. Problem: find a criterion for an S-ring to be schurian.
14 Circulant S-rings The schurity problem has sense even for circulant S-rings, i.e. when the underlying group G is cyclic:
15 Circulant S-rings The schurity problem has sense even for circulant S-rings, i.e. when the underlying group G is cyclic: Theorem (Evdokimov-Kovács-P, 2013) Every S-ring over C n is schurian if and only if n is of the form: p k, pq k, 2pq k, pqr, 2pqr where p, q, r are distinct primes, and k 0 is an integer.
16 Circulant S-rings The schurity problem has sense even for circulant S-rings, i.e. when the underlying group G is cyclic: Theorem (Evdokimov-Kovács-P, 2013) Every S-ring over C n is schurian if and only if n is of the form: p k, pq k, 2pq k, pqr, 2pqr where p, q, r are distinct primes, and k 0 is an integer. An assumption: The S-ring A has no sections S of composite order such that dim(a S ) = 2.
17 Circulant coset S-rings An S-ring A is called coset, if each X S is of the form X = xh for some group H G such that H A.
18 Circulant coset S-rings An S-ring A is called coset, if each X S is of the form X = xh for some group H G such that H A. The set of circulant coset S-rings is closed under restrictions, intersections, tensor and wreath products, and consists of schurian rings.
19 Circulant coset S-rings An S-ring A is called coset, if each X S is of the form X = xh for some group H G such that H A. The set of circulant coset S-rings is closed under restrictions, intersections, tensor and wreath products, and consists of schurian rings. The coset closure A 0 of a circulant S-ring A is the intersection of all coset S-rings over G that contain A.
20 Formula for the Schurian closure The schurian closure Sch(A) of an S-ring A is the intersection of all schurian S-rings over G that contain A.
21 Formula for the Schurian closure The schurian closure Sch(A) of an S-ring A is the intersection of all schurian S-rings over G that contain A. Theorem Let A be a circulant S-ring and Φ 0 is the group of all algebraic isomorphisms of A 0 that are identical on A. Then Sch(A) = (A 0 ) Φ 0. In particular, A is schurian if and only if A = (A 0 ) Φ 0.

Theorem Let A be a circulant S-ring and Φ 0 is the group of all algebraic isomorphisms of A 0 that are identical on A. Then Sch(A) = (A 0 ) Φ 0. In particular, A is schurian if and only if A = (A 0 ) Φ 0.
