Sep 19, 2012 at 15:48 comment added Alexander Chervov @Andreas Blass May I ask another question. Consider GL_n(F_q) and its action of it on V=F_q^n and on V^* . This is an example of the setup we need X=V and Y = V^*. How to construct P(V) and P(V^*) isomorphism ? Many many many thanks in advance.
Sep 18, 2012 at 13:55 comment added Alexander Chervov @Andreas Blass Thank you very much ! Probably there should not be unique correspondence (e.g. if G is trivial - that would be any two sets canonically isomorphic - nonsense), however might be not everything is that much bad, in some specific situations, although it is far from being clear for me at the moment, what are these "specific situations"...
Sep 18, 2012 at 13:20 comment added Andreas Blass @Alexander Chernov: The proof is not directly constructive. It involved comparing the characters of the linear representations over $\mathbb C$ with the marks (in Burnside's sense) of the power-set permutation actions. I haven't really considered the question whether one can convert it into something more constructive, setting up a specific, canonical correspondence between the two sorts of representations.
Sep 18, 2012 at 11:59 comment added Alexander Chervov @Andreas Blass May I ask you ? Vaguely: is the proof constructive ? More precisely may be there is something like "correspondence" between X,Y which is G-ivariant ? Can the isomrphism between P(x) P(Y) be chosen uniquely ? or "almost" uniequely up to something...

Sep 12, 2012 at 3:01 comment added Benjamin Steinberg This is of course the same as P(X) and P(Y) being isomorphic as modules of the semiring P(G). What other idempotent semirings R have the property that $\mathbb CX\cong \mathbb CY$ iff $RX\cong RY$.
Sep 12, 2012 at 2:59 comment added Benjamin Steinberg This seems to me to really answer the question.
