Topic: Representation theory of finite groups


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  Group representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group representation theory is the branch of mathematics that studies properties of abstract groups via their representations as linear transformations of vector spaces.
A representation of a group G on a vector space V over a field K is a group homomorphism from G to GL(V), the general linear group on V.
In the case where V is of finite dimension n it is common to choose a basis for V and identify GL(V) with GL(n, K) the group of n-by-n invertible matrices.

 Talk:Representation theory of finite groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Actually ANY finite dimensional rep of a finite group can be turned into a unitary rep. To see this, note that any finite dimensional space can be turned into a Hilbert space with a positive definite sesquilinear form <.,.>.
Too technical notice: actually group representation is the general introduction.
The left regular representation is a faithful linear representation for any finite group.

And when a group (finite or otherwise) acts on something else (as a set of symmetries, for example), one ends up with a natural representation of the group.
This book is an introduction to the representation theory of finite groups from an algebraic point of view, regarding representations as modules over the group algebra.
The book has an extensive development of the semisimple case, where the characteristic of the field is zero or is prime to the order of the group, and builds the foundations of the modular case, where the characteristic of the field divides the order of the group.

Representation theory of 2-groups on finite dimensional 2-vector spaces
A 2-group is a "categorified" version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map has been replaced by a functor.
The representation theory for categorical groups is constructed.
