Isomorphisms between centers of integral group rings

Abstract

For finite nilpotent groups GG and GG^{\prime}, and a GG-adapted ring SS (the rational integers, for example), it is shown that any isomorphism between the centers of the group rings SGSG and SGSG^{\prime} is monomial, i.e., maps class sums in SGSG to class sums in SGSG^{\prime} up to multiplication with roots of unity. As a consequence, GG and GG^{\prime} have identical character tables if and only if the centers of their integral group rings ZG\mathbb{Z} G and ZG\mathbb{Z} G^{\prime} are isomorphic. In the course of the proof, a new proof of the class sum correspondence is given.
