Abstract
The homogeneous weight on a finite Frobenius ring naturally induces a partition which is invariant under left and right multiplication by units. It is shown that the character-theoretic left-sided dual of this partition coincides with the right-sided dual, and even more, the left- and right-sided Krawtchouk coefficients coincide. An example is provided showing that this is not the case for general invariant partitions if the ring is not semisimple.
