If all real conjugacy classes are strongly real, then all real irreps are "strongly real"(symmetric), true?
Question Is true that if all real conjugacy classes of a finite group are strongly real, then all its real irreducible representations (irreps) are "strongly real" (symmetric)? And vice ...

A property forcing the Frobenius-Schur indicator to be positive
Let $G$ be a finite group. Two irreducible complex representations $V,V'$ of $G$ are called dual to each other if $V \otimes V'$ admits a trivial component, i.e. $\hom_G(V \otimes V',V_0)$ is positive ...

Frobenius-Schur indicator and character table of finite groups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ an irreducible complex representation. The Frobenius-Schur indicator of $\pi$ is defined as:
$$ \nu_2(\pi):=\frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g \in G} \chi_{\pi}(g^2) $$
with $\...
