  Question About Representations of Finite Groups | The n-Category Café
A note on splitting fields of representations of finite groups.
By Brauer’s theorem every representation is isomorphic to a subrepresentation of a direct sum of representations induced from representations of p-elementary subgroups.
That is a finite field extension which makes the algebra a direct sum of matrix algebras (sometimes called a split algebra).

We may recast a representation of a group \pi on a k-vector space as a module for the group algebra k\pi.
For \pi a finite group and g a finite dimensional p-restricted Lie algebra, the algebras k\pi and V(g) are examples of a general class of algebras, the group algebras of finite group schemes.
One means of study of representations is to use cohomology which introduces algebro-geometric invariants associated to the commutative k algebra of even dimensional cohomology.

Representations of groups and algebras, especially classification of indecomposable representations, representation type (finite, tame, wild), etc.
At the same time, I developed the applications of the idèles technique for study of genera of integral representations, in particular, proved the analogues of the theorems on the distribution of prime ideals for the distribution of maximal submodules in a genus.
We proved that such a classification is always either of finite type, or tame, or wild (in the same sense as in the theory of finite dimensional algebras) and gave a complete description of curves of finite and tame types, as well as of all vector bundles over such curves.

 New Topological Structures in Physics
The original McKay correspondence related finite subgroups of Sl(2) and Dynkin diagrams of type ADE; the latter occur as intersection pairings in the cohomology of crepant resolutions of C2/.
There are two basic invariants of a finite group: its representation ring and the center of its group algebra.
The center of a group algebra generalizes to the Chen-Ruan orbifold co-homology of X/G. This version of the correspondence defines a conjectural multiplicative equivalence of Chen-Ruan cohomology with a deformation of the cohomology ring of a crepant resolution, involving Gromov-Witten invariants associated to certain exceptional sets.

The theory of algebras and their representations is generally considered to originate in Hamilton's definition of Hypercomplex numbers and his famous construction of the quaternions.
Maschke's Theorem states that the representations of the group algebras of finite groups over fields of characteristic zero are semisimple, that is that every representation is a direct sum of simple subrepresentations of which there are only finitely many.
The structure of finite dimensional algebras with the latter property was completely determined by Wedderburn in 1908.

We also illustrate with the example of the quaternion group that these new, fine, orbit Chern classes are sufficient to generate the ring of invariants in cases where orbit Chern classes fail to do so.

 Summer 2001 REU Participants
As it is well known, every irreducible representation of a finite group is fully determined by its character, or in other words, the trace of the resulting linear transformation.
Thus, in order to study representations, we may, equivalently, study their characters, which are functions on the group in question.
Representation theory involves groups ­ structures that lie at the heart of abstract algebra and mathematics as a whole.

 Finite state machines in JavaScript, Part 1: Design a widget
Finite state machines are most useful in situations where behavior is driven by many different types of events, and the response to a particular event depends on the sequence of previous events.
The events that drive finite state machines can be external to the computer, originating from a keyboard, mouse, timer, or network activity, or they can be internal to the computer, originating from other parts of the application program, or other applications.
Finite state machines are event-driven, and need a way to hook themselves to the events of interest in their runtime environment.

 RIF-WG: W3C Rule Interchange Format Working Group Charter
The Working Group is chartered to first establish the extensible core and possibly a set of extensions, and then (in Phase 2) to begin to specify additional extensions based on user requirements.
The Working Group should ensure the rule language is compatible with the use of SPARQL as a language for query of the dataset, that the extension mechanism is compatible with use of the SPARQL protocol for fetching additional datasets, and should aim for compatibility with SPARQL's use of XML datatypes, functions and operators.
The XML Schema Working Group provides a way to define XML grammars, which may be useful in defining the rule format syntax, and a model for data types and data structures.
