Review text

Summary: \textit{P. P. Pálfy} [Eur. J. Comb. 8, 35-43 (1987; Zbl 0614.05049)] proved that a group \(G\) is a CI-group if and only if \(|G|=n\) where either \(\gcd(n,\varphi(n))=1\) or \(n=4\), where \(\varphi\) is Euler's phi function. We simplify the proof of ``if \(\gcd(n,\varphi(n))=1\) and \(G\) is a group of order \(n\), then \(G\) is a CI-group.
