The recognition problem for table algebras and reality-based algebras

Given a finite-dimensional noncommutative semisimple algebra $A$ with involution, we show that $A$ always has an RBA-basis. We look for an RBA-basis that has integral or rational structure constants, and ask if the RBA admits a positive degree map. For RBAs that have a positive degree map, we try to find an RBA-basis with nonnegative structure constants to determine if there is a generalized table algebra structure. We settle these questions for the algebras $\mathbb{C} \oplus M_n(\mathbb{C})$, $n \ge 2$.
