Abstract:
An $S$-ring (Schur ring) is said to be central if it is contained in the center of a group ring. We introduce the notion of a generalized Schur group, i.e., a finite group such that all central $S$-rings over this group are Schurian. It generalizes the notion of a Schur group in a natural way, and for Abelian groups, the two notions are equivalent. We prove basic properties and present infinite families of non-Abelian generalized Schur groups.
