Abstract

If is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic -sets may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations . Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the rational representation ring of has a kernel. Its elements are called Brauer relations, and the purpose of this paper is to classify them in all finite groups, extending the Tornehave–Bouc classification in the case of -groups.
