The centralizer ring of a permutation representation of a group appears in several contexts. In (19) and (20) Schur considered the situation where a permutation group G acting on a finite set Ω has a regular subgroup H. In this case Ω may be given the structure of H and the centralizer ring is isomorphic to a subring of the group ring of H. Schur used this in his investigations of B-groups. A group H is a B-group if whenever a permutation group G contains H as a regular subgroup then G is either imprimitive or doubly transitive. Surveys of the results known on B-groups are given in (28), ch. IV and (21), ch. 13. In (28), p. 75, remark F, it is noted that the existence of a regular subgroup is not necessary for many of the arguments. This paper may be regarded as an extension of this remark, but the approach here differs slightly from that suggested by Wielandt in that it appears to be more natural to work with transversals rather than cosets.

W. Burnside [3, p. 343] showed that a cyclic group of order pm (p prime, m > l) cannot occur as a regular subgroup of a simply transitive primitive group. (For definitions and notation see [9].) Groups which are contained regularly in a primitive group G only when G is doubly transitive are therefore called B-groups [9, p. 64].

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. There is a natural Galois correspondence between the permutation groups containing [Formula: see text] as a regular subgroup, and the Schur rings (S-rings) over [Formula: see text]. The problem we deal with in the paper, is to characterize those S-rings that are closed under this correspondence, when the group [Formula: see text] is cyclic (the schurity problem for circulant S-rings). It is proved that up to a natural reduction, the characteristic property of such an S-ring is to be a certain algebraic fusion of its coset closure introduced and studied in the paper. Based on this characterization we show that the schurity problem is equivalent to the consistency of a modular linear system associated with a circulant S-ring under consideration. As a byproduct we show that a circulant S-ring is Galois closed if and only if so is its dual.

Certain finite groups H do not occur as a regular subgroup of a uniprimitive (primitive but not doubly transitive) group G. If such a group H occurs as a regular subgroup of a primitive group G, it follows that G is doubly transitive. Such groups H are called B-groups (8) since the first example was given by Burnside (1, p. 343), who showed that a cyclic p-group of order greater than p has this property (and is therefore a B-group in our terminology).Burnside conjectured that all abelian groups are B-groups. A class of counterexamples to this conjecture due to W. A. Manning was given by Dorothy Manning in 1936 (3).
