On separability of Schur rings over abelian p-groups

An $S$-ring (Schur ring) is called separable with respect to a class of $S$-rings $\mathcal{K}$ if it is determined up to isomorphism in $\mathcal{K}$ only by the tensor of its structure constants. An abelian group is said to be separable if every $S$-ring over this group is separable with respect to the class of $S$-rings over abelian groups. Let $C_n$ be a cyclic group of order $n$ and $G$ be a noncylic abelian $p$-group. From the previously obtained results it follows that if $G$ is separable then $G$ is isomorphic to $C_p\times C_{p^k}$ or $C_p\times C_p\times C_{p^k}$, where $p\in \{2,3\}$ and $k\ge 1$. We prove that the groups $D=C_p\times C_{p^k}$ are separable whenever $p\in \{2,3\}$. From this statement we deduce that a given Cayley graph over $D$ and a given Cayley graph over an arbitrary abelian group one can check whether these graphs are isomorphic in time $\mathrm{\mid }D{\mathrm{\mid }}^{O(1)}$.
