Theorem 11. Let \( \left( {\mathrm{W},\theta }\right) \) be a linear representation of \( \mathrm{H} \). There exists a linear representation \( \left( {\mathrm{V},\rho }\right) \) of \( \mathrm{G} \) which is induced by \( \left( {\mathrm{W},\theta }\right) \), and it is unique up to isomorphism.
Let us first prove the existence of the induced representation \( \rho \). In view of example 3, above, we may assume that \( \theta \) is irreducible.

Proposition 9. If \( \mathrm{K} \) is a field of characteristic zero, the algebra \( \mathrm{K}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) is semisimple.
To say that \( \mathrm{K}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) is a semisimple algebra is equivalent to saying that each \( \mathrm{K}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) -module \( \mathrm{V} \) is semisimple, i.e., that each submodule \( {\mathrm{V}}^{\prime } \) of \( \mathrm{V} \) is a direct factor in \( \mat...

Proposition 10. The homomorphism \( \widetilde{\rho } \) defined above is an isomorphism.
This is a general property of semisimple algebras. In the present case, it can be verified in the following way: First, \( \widetilde{\rho } \) is surjective.

If we identify \( \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) with the product of the \( \operatorname{End}\left( {\mathrm{W}}_{i}\right) \), the center of \( \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) becomes the product of the centers of the \( \operatorname{End}\left( {\mathrm{W}}_{i}\right) \) .

The equivalence of (ii) and (iii) follows from the fact that a submodule of a finitely generated \( \mathbf{Z} \) -module is finitely generated, since \( \mathbf{Z} \) is noetherian. On the other hand, if \( x \) satisfies an equation\n\n\[ {x}^{n} + {a}_{1}{x}^{n - 1} + \cdots + {a}_{n} = 0,\;\text{ with }{a}_{i} \in ...

Corollary 1. If \( \mathrm{R} \) is a finitely generated \( \mathbf{Z} \) -module, each element of \( \mathrm{R} \) is integral over \( \mathbf{Z} \) .
This follows from the implication (iii) \( \Rightarrow \) (i).

Proposition 15. Let \( \chi \) be the character of a representation \( \rho \) of a finite group G. Then \( \chi \left( s\right) \) is an algebraic integer for each \( s \in \mathbf{G} \) .
Indeed \( \chi \left( s\right) \) is the trace of \( \rho \left( s\right) \), hence is the sum of eigenvalues of \( \rho \left( s\right) \) , which are roots of unity.
Yes
Proposition 16. Let \( u = \sum u\left( s\right) s \) be an element of Cent. C[G] such that the \( u\left( s\right) \) are algebraic integers. Then \( u \) is integral over \( \mathbf{Z} \) .
Let \( {c}_{i}\left( {1 \leq i \leq h}\right) \) be the conjugacy classes of \( \mathrm{G} \) and put \( {e}_{i} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{s \in {c}_{i}}}s \) , cf. 6.3. For \( {s}_{i} \in {c}_{i} \) we can write \( u \) in the form \( u = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{{i = h}}u\left( {s}_{i}\right) {e}_{i} \) . In ...

Corollary 1. Let \( \rho \) be an irreducible representation of \( \mathrm{G} \) of degree \( n \) and character \( \chi \) . If \( u \) is as above, then the number \( \left( {1/n}\right) \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{s \in G}}u\left( s\right) \chi \left( s\right) \) is an algebraic integer.
Indeed, this number is the image of \( u \) under the homomorphism\n\n\[\n\omega : \text{ Cent. }\mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \rightarrow \mathbf{C}\n\]\n\nassociated with \( \rho \) (cf. prop. 12). As \( u \) is integral over \( \mathbf{Z} \), the same is true of its image under \( \omega \) .
Yes
Corollary 2. The degrees of the irreducible representations of \( \mathrm{G} \) divide the order of \( \mathbf{G} \) .
Let \( g \) be the order of \( \mathrm{G} \) . We apply cor. 1 to the element \( u \) \( = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{s \in \mathrm{G}}}\chi \left( {s}^{-1}\right) s \), which is legitimate since \( \chi \) is a class function and since the \( \chi \left( s\right) \) are algebraic integers (prop. 15); we obtain that the n...

Proposition 17. Let \( \mathrm{C} \) be the center of \( \mathrm{G} \) . The degrees of the irreducible representations of \( \mathrm{G} \) divide \( \left( {\mathrm{G} : \mathrm{C}}\right) \) .

Proposition 18. In order that \( \mathrm{V} \) be induced by \( \mathrm{W} \), it is necessary and sufficient that the homomorphism\n\n\[ i : \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack { \otimes }_{\mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{H}\right\rbrack }\mathrm{W} \rightarrow \mathrm{V} \]\n\nbe an isomorphism.
This is a consequence of the fact that the elements of \( R \) form a basis of \( \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) considered as a right \( \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{H}\right\rbrack \) -module.

Lemma 2. If \( {\varphi }_{1} \) and \( {\varphi }_{2} \) are the characters of \( {V}_{1} \) and \( {V}_{2} \), we have\n\n\[ \n{\left\langle {\varphi }_{1},{\varphi }_{2}\right\rangle }_{\mathrm{G}} = {\left\langle {\mathrm{V}}_{1},{\mathrm{\;V}}_{2}\right\rangle }_{\mathrm{G}} \n\]
Decomposing \( {V}_{1} \) and \( {V}_{2} \) into direct sums, we can assume that they are irreducible, in which case the lemma follows from the orthogonality formulas for characters (2.3, th. 3).

Theorem 13 (Frobenius reciprocity). If \( \psi \) is a class function on \( \mathrm{H} \) and \( {\varphi a} \) class function on \( \mathrm{G} \), we have\n\n\[ \langle \psi ,\operatorname{Res}\varphi {\rangle }_{\mathrm{H}} = \langle \operatorname{Ind}\psi ,\varphi {\rangle }_{\mathrm{G}}. \]
Since each class function is a linear combination of characters, we can assume that \( \psi \) is the character of a \( \mathbf{C}\left\lbrack \mathrm{H}\right\rbrack \) -module \( \mathrm{W} \) and \( \varphi \) is the character of a C[G]-module E.

Proposition 21. Let \( \mathrm{W} \) be an irreducible representation of \( \mathrm{H} \) and \( \mathrm{E} \) an irreducible representation of \( \mathrm{G} \) . Then the number of times that \( \mathrm{W} \) occurs in Res \( \mathrm{E} \) is equal to the number of times that \( E \) occurs in Ind \( \mathrm{W} \)
This follows from th. 13, applied to the character \( \psi \) of \( \mathrm{W} \) and to the character \( \varphi \) of \( \mathrm{E} \) (one may also apply formula (*)).

Proposition 23. In order that the induced representation \( \mathrm{V} = {\operatorname{Ind}}_{\mathrm{H}}^{\mathrm{G}}\mathrm{W} \) be irreducible, it is necessary and sufficient that the following two conditions be satisfied:\n\n(a) \( \mathrm{W} \) is irreducible.\n\n(b) For each \( s \in \mathrm{G} - \mathrm{H} \) ...
In order that \( \mathrm{V} \) be irreducible, it is necessary and sufficient that \( \langle \mathrm{V},\mathrm{V}{\rangle }_{\mathrm{G}} = 1 \) .

In view of the preceding it suffices to show that the center of every nontrivial \( p \) -group \( \mathrm{G} \) is nontrivial. This is a consequence of the following lemma:

Indeed \( \mathrm{X} - {\mathrm{X}}^{\mathrm{G}} \) is a union of nontrivial orbits of \( \mathrm{G} \), and the cardinality of each of these orbits is a power \( {p}^{\alpha } \) of \( p \), with \( \alpha \geq 1 \) ; hence \( \operatorname{Card}\left( {\mathrm{X} - {\mathrm{X}}^{\mathrm{G}}}\right) \) is divisible by...

Theorem 16. Let \( \mathrm{G} \) be a supersolvable group. Then each irreducible representation of \( \mathrm{G} \) is induced by a representation of degree 1 of a subgroup of \( \mathrm{G} \) (i.e., is monomial).
We prove the theorem by induction on the order of G. Consequently we may consider only those irreducible representations \( \rho \) which are faithful, i.e., such that \( \operatorname{Ker}\left( \rho \right) = \{ 1\} \) . If \( \mathrm{G} \) is abelian, such a \( \rho \) is of degree 1 and there is nothing to prove. S...

Proposition 29. The homomorphism Res: \( \mathrm{R}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \rightarrow \underset{\mathrm{H} \in \mathrm{X}}{ \oplus }\mathrm{R}\left( \mathrm{H}\right) \) is a split injection.

Proposition 44. Let \( {\mathrm{K}}^{\prime } \) be a finite extension of \( \mathrm{K} \), and let \( {\mathrm{A}}^{\prime } \) be the ring of integers of \( {\mathrm{K}}^{\prime } \) .

Let \( \mathrm{N} = \left\lbrack {{\mathrm{K}}^{\prime } : \mathrm{K}}\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {{\mathrm{A}}^{\prime } : \mathrm{A}}\right\rbrack \) .

Proposition 45. Suppose the following condition is satisfied:\n\n(R) There exists a finite extension \( {\mathrm{K}}^{\prime } \) of \( \mathrm{K} \), with residue field \( {k}^{\prime } \), such that \( d\left( {{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{K}}^{\prime }}^{ + }\left( \mathrm{G}\right) }\right) = {\mathrm{R}}_{{k}^{\prime }}...
By prop. 44 it is enough to prove that\n\n\[ e\left( {{\mathrm{P}}_{\mathrm{A}}^{ + }\left( \mathrm{G}\right) }\right) = e\left( {{\mathrm{P}}_{\mathrm{A}}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) }\right) \cap {\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{K}}^{ + }\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \]\n\nwhen \( \mathrm{K} \) is sufficiently large, in which case condi...

Theorem 38. (Fong-Swan). Suppose that \( \\mathrm{G} \) is p-solvable, i.e., has a composition series whose factors are either p-groups or groups of order prime to p. Then \( \\mathrm{G} \) satisfies conditions \( \\left( \\mathrm{R}\\right) \) and \( \\left( {\\mathrm{R}}^{\\prime }\\right) \) above.
For the proof, see 17.6.

Proposition 46. Let \( \mathrm{E} \) be a simple \( \mathrm{K}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) -module, and let \( \mathrm{P} \) be a lattice in \( \mathrm{E} \) stable under \( \mathrm{G} \) . Assume that the dimension \( \mathrm{N} \) of \( \mathrm{E} \) is divisible by the largest power \( {p}^{n} \) of \( p ...
First of all, since \( \mathrm{N} \) is divisible by \( {p}^{n} \), the quotient \( \mathrm{N}/g \) belongs to the ring A. This enables us to apply Fourier inversion (6.2., prop. 11) without introducing any \

Theorem 39. Let \( \mathrm{X} \) be the set of all \( {\Gamma }_{\mathrm{K}} \) -elementary subgroups of \( \mathrm{G} \) (cf. 12.6). The homomorphisms \[ \text{Ind:}\underset{\mathrm{H} \in \mathrm{X}}{ \oplus }{\mathrm{R}}_{k}\left( \mathrm{H}\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{R}}_{k}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \] and \[ \tex...
Let \( {l}_{K} \) (resp. \( {l}_{k} \) ) denote the identity element of the ring \( {R}_{K}\left( G\right) \) (resp. \( {\mathrm{R}}_{k}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \) ). We have \( d\left( {\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{K}}\right) = {\mathrm{l}}_{k} \) . By th. 27 we can write \( {\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{K}} \) in the form \[ {\mathr...

Corollary 2. The kernel of the homomorphism \( d : {\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{K}}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{R}}_{k}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \) consists of those elements \( x \) whose virtual character \( {\chi }_{x} \) is zero on \( {\mathrm{G}}_{\text{reg }} \) .
(Since \( d \) is surjective, this gives an explicit description of \( {\mathbf{R}}_{k}\left( \mathbf{G}\right) \) as a quotient of \( {\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{K}}\left( \mathrm{G}\right) \) .)

Corollary 3. The number of classes of simple \( k\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) -modules is equal to the number of p-regular conjugacy classes of \( \mathbf{G} \) .
Proof of theorem 42.\n\n(a) We prove first that \( {\phi }_{\mathrm{E}}\left( {\mathrm{E} \in {\mathrm{S}}_{k}}\right) \) are linearly independent over \( \mathrm{K} \) . Indeed, suppose that we had a relation \( \sum {a}_{\mathrm{E}}{\phi }_{\mathrm{E}} = 0 \), with \( {a}_{\mathrm{E}} \in \mathrm{K} \), not all zero....

Theorem 44. Let \( l \) be a prime number unequal to the residue characteristic of \( \mathbf{E} \) .\n\n(i) The representations of Artin and Swan are realizable over the field \( {\mathbf{Q}}_{l} \) of \( l \) -adic numbers.\n\n(ii) There exists a projective \( {\mathbf{Z}}_{l}\left\lbrack \mathrm{G}\right\rbrack \) -...
It is enough to prove (ii); assertion (i) then follows, since \( {a}_{\mathrm{G}} \) is obtained from \( s{w}_{\mathrm{G}} \) by adding to it \( {u}_{\mathrm{G}} \), which is realizable over any field.\n\nFor this, we apply prop. 44, taking \( p = l,\mathrm{\;K} = {\mathbf{Q}}_{l}, n = g = \operatorname{Card}\left( \ma...

Consider the circle \( \mathrm{V}\left( {{X}^{2} + {Y}^{2} - 1}\right) \) . Let \( X = {X}_{1} + i{X}_{2} \) and \( Y = {Y}_{1} + i{Y}_{2} \) . Then \( {\left( {X}_{1} + i{X}_{2}\right) }^{2} + {\left( {Y}_{1} + i{Y}_{2}\right) }^{2} = 1 \) .
Expanding and equating real and imaginary parts gives\n\n\[ \n{X}_{1}{}^{2} - {X}_{2}{}^{2} + {Y}_{1}{}^{2} - {Y}_{2}{}^{2} = 1,\;{X}_{1}{X}_{2} + {Y}_{1}{Y}_{2} = 0.\n\]

We cannot leave this section of examples without at least briefly mentioning curves with singularities; an example is given by the alpha curve \( \mathrm{V}\left( {{Y}^{2} - {X}^{2}\left( {X + 1}\right) }\right) \) (Figure 2).
Separating real and imaginary parts of \( {Y}^{2} - {X}^{2}\left( {X + 1}\right) = 0 \) and setting \( {X}_{2} = 0 \) gives us a curve sketched in Figure 21. The two branches again meet at one point at infinity, \( {P}_{\infty } \), and the other curves \( {X}_{2} = \) constant fit together as in Figure 22. Topological...

Any complex line and any complex circle in \( {\mathbb{P}}^{2}\left( \mathbb{C}\right) \) must intersect.
One can actually see, in Figure 7, how any parallel translate of the complex \( Y \) -plane along the \( {X}_{1} \) -axis still intersects the circle \( \mathrm{V}\left( {{X}^{2} + {Y}^{2} - 1}\right) \) , either in the \( \left( {{X}_{1},{Y}_{1}}\right) \) -plane (as we usually see the intersection), or in the hyperbo...

Lemma 1.3. Let \( {S}_{1} \) and \( {S}_{2} \) be any two projective subspaces of \( {\mathbb{P}}^{n}\left( k\right) \) . Then\n\n\[ \operatorname{cod}\left( {{S}_{1} \cap {S}_{2}}\right) \leq \operatorname{cod}{S}_{1} + \operatorname{cod}{S}_{2}. \]
Proof. Any subspace \( {k}^{r + 1} \) has codimension \( n - r \) in \( {k}^{n + 1} \) ; therefore the associated subspace \( {\mathbb{P}}^{r}\left( k\right) \) has the same codimension \( n - r \) in \( {\mathbb{P}}^{n}\left( k\right) \) . Then apply the corresponding vector space theorem.
