	Irreducible Representation -- from Wolfram MathWorld
		An irreducible representation of a group is a group representation that has no nontrivial invariant subspaces.
		In a given representation, reducible or irreducible, the group characters of all matrices belonging to operations in the same class are identical (but differ from those in other representations).
		The number of irreducible representations of a group is equal to the number of conjugacy classes in the group.

		In (Click link for more info and facts about representation theory (group theory)) representation theory (group theory), an irreducible representation is a nontrivial (A creation that is a visual or tangible rendering of someone or something) representation with no nontrivial subrepresentations.
		The notions of irreducibility in algebra and manifold theory are related.
		An irreducible manifold is thus prime, although the converse does not hold.

		In abstract algebra, a representation of a finite group G is a group homomorphism from G to the general linear group GL(n,C) of invertible complex n-by-n matrices.
		This representation is said to be faithful, because ρ is a one-to-one map.
		The characters of all the irreducible representations of a finite group form a character table, with conjugacy classes of elements as the columns, and characters as the rows.

	Encyclopedia: Modular representation
		In mathematics, modular representation theory is the branch of representation theory that studies linear representations of finite group G over a field K such that the characteristic of K divides the order of G.
		Modular representations are very different from when K is the complex numbers, or when the characteristic of K does not divide the order of G.
		By contrast, in the non-modular case every irreducible representation is a direct summand in the regular representation, implying that it is projective.

	Science Fair Projects - Fundamental representation
		All other irreducible representations of the group can be found in the tensor products of the fundamental representation with many copies of itself.
		For example, the fundamental representation of SO(n) or SU(n) are n-dimensional vector spaces, and the fundamental representation of E8 is 248-dimensional.
		In greater generality it is not expected to happen in the way that all irreducible representations occur as direct summands; rather (at best) as subquotients.

		When this cannot be done the group is called " irreducible." It can be shown that a group of linear substitutions, of finite order, is always either irreducible, or such that the variables, when suitably chosen, may be divided into sets, each set being irreducibly transformed among themselves.
		This being so, it is clear that when the irreducible representations of a group of finite order are known, all representations may be built up.
		The fundamental theorem in connexion with the representations, as an irreducible group of linear substitutions, of a group of finite order N is the following.

	Casimir invariant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The number of independent elements of the center of the universal enveloping algebra is also the rank in the case of a semisimple Lie algebra.
		In any irreducible representation of the Lie algebra, by Schur's Lemma, any member of the center of the universal enveloping algebra commutes with everything and thus is proportional to the identity.
		This constant of proportionality can be used to classify the representations of the Lie algebra (and hence, also of its Lie group).

		When determining the dimension of all irreducible representations of the group of the Schrödinger equation from the character table all degrees of degeneracy in the system that belongs to this group are found.
		Example: an irreducible representation A1g is one-dimensional, and the functions for which this irreducible representation forms a basis are symmetric with respect to inversion, symmetric with respect to rotation about Cn, and symmetric with respect to reflection in sv..

		There are lots of representations of Γ, and one's intuition is that a "generic" representation is irreducibile.

		As a general recipe for questions like this I look up the weight decomposition of the representation in question (did I tell that my background is in Lie algebra/algebraic groups rep theory) and then decompose using the weight decompositions of the irreducible reps of the subalgebra.
		If you tensor two irreducible reps of SU(2), say those of dimensions m and n, corresponding to highest weights (here "weight" is a scalar multiple of "the eigenvalue of the operator L_z") (m-1) and (n-1), you can immediately find an eigenvector corresponding to a maximal weight (m-1)+(n-1)=m+n-2 inside the tensor product.
		No doubt you have seen similar things done with representations of SU(3) (like 3d-rep tensored with its conjugate decomposes into 8+1), where the weight lattice (combinations of eigenvalues of diagonal matrices) is now a two-dimensional pattern (such as a hexagon in the case of octet or a triangle in the case of the 10-d representation).

		Ok, there are a few other, one-dim representations of the (full) Lorentz group which is the signature of the transformation in space (inversion) or time reversal.
		However, it is (I think) not an irreducible representation (that's obvious in the massless case ; I'm less sure in the massive case).

	The Weyl group action on minuscule weights in Maple. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A minuscule representation is an irreducible representation in which all the weights lie in a single Weyl group orbit.
		In fact in some cases we can "see" the irreducibility of the minuscule representation by inspecting the cycle structures of the permutations associated with the Weyl group's elements.
		An invariant subspace of a representation cannot share part of an orbit of weights, so if the cycle structures tell us that there is only one orbit, we must conclude that the representation is irreducible (this assumes that the weight spaces are one-dimensional, which may fail to hold if the highest weight is not minuscule).

		The Fourier transform of the parent reflections describes a parent structure which is a disordered version of the true structure and is often quite easy to obtain, especially when the inherent disorder is recognised.
		The satellite reflections then define a modulation of the parent structure and possible resulting symmetries can be obtained from the irreducible representations associated with k.
		This situation is associated with the existence of a degenerate irreducible representation.

		We consider the representation of G induced from a character of P. We shall calculate explicitly the action of the Lie algebra of G on this representation.
		Using a cohomological method (etale cohomology) extending that of Deligne and the author (1976), we construct an irreducible representation of G(F_q[[Z]]/(Z^r)) for any "maximal torus" and a generic character of it; for r at least 2, this was stated without proof in a paper I wrote in 1977.
		We study representations of a classical group G which admit certain P-eigendistributions, where P is a parabolic subgroup of G. Through examples, we shall explain how to understand the K-types of G-representations generated by these P-eigendistributions.

		A Coxeter group is called affine if it is infinite and it has a representation as a discrete, properly acting, affine reflection group (see [Bou68] for more details on discreteness and proper action).
		A Coxeter group is finite if, and only if, all its irreducible components are finite; a Coxeter group is affine if, and only if all its irreducible components are finite or affine, and at least one component is affine.
