Classification of abelian Schur groups II

Abstract

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group if every Schur ring over $G$ is schurian, i.e. associated in a natural way with a subgroup of the symmetric group $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations of $G$. The list of all possible abelian Schur groups was obtained by Evdokimov, Kovács, and Ponomarenko in 2016. In two papers, we complete a classification of abelian Schur groups. In the present paper, we prove that several groups of nonpowerful order from the list are Schur groups. By that, we obtain a classification of abelian Schur groups.
