Consider a finite group G. The product of conjugacy classes can be defined in natural way just by multiplying the representatives and counting multiplicities (see e.g. [MO 62088][1]). So we get ring with a basis and structure constants are natural numbers. Similar to what one has for product of irreps. There are many analogies between conjugacy classes and irreps in particular see [this article][2]. Tanaka-Krein duality states that group can be reconstructed from the tensor category of its representations which is semisimple for finite groups, and hence carries the same information as ring + basis of irreps. **Question:** Can one reconstruct a group having (ring + basis) made of conjugacy classes ? If not - what partial information (e.g. character table) one can get ? ---- **Question:** Is there any relation between this ring and ring of irreps of the same group ? or may be some other group ? (Remark. For abelian group they are isomorphic.) **Question:** Are there any further analogies between ring of irreps and conjugacy classes except mentioned in the paper cited above ?
