Classification conjecture for Frobenius automorphisms of extended structures on cyclic group algebras

Let CnC_n be a cyclic group with generator gg, and let an extended structure on kCn\Bbbk C_n have Frobenius automorphism ϕ\phi. Let ωnk\omega_n\in\Bbbk be any nn-th root of unity.

Classification conjecture. The only possibilities for ϕ\phi are

ϕ(g)=±gorϕ(g)=ωng1when n is even,\phi(g)=\pm g\quad\text{or}\quad \phi(g)=\omega_n g^{-1}\qquad\text{when }n\text{ is even},

and

ϕ(g)=gorϕ(g)=ωng1when n is odd.\phi(g)=g\quad\text{or}\quad \phi(g)=\omega_n g^{-1}\qquad\text{when }n\text{ is odd}.

This conjecture proposes a complete classification of the possible Frobenius automorphisms for extended structures on cyclic group algebras, extending the preceding classifications for C2C_2, C3C_3, and C4C_4. Its general validity for all nn remains open in the supplied source.
