Definition with symbols

Two groups $G$ and $G^{*}$ are said to have the same involution fusion pattern if there is an isomorphism $x\mapsto x^{*}$ from a 2-Sylow subgroup $S$ of $G$ to a 2-Sylow subgroup $S^{*}$ of $G^{*}$ such that $x,y\in S$ are conjugate in $G$ if and only if $x^{*},y^{*}$ are conjugate elements in $S^{*}$ .
