Corollary 9.5. Let \( G \) be a product of a p-group and a cyclic group, and let \( k \) be algebraically closed. If \( E \) is a simple \( \left( {G, k}\right) \) -space and is not 1-dimensional, then \( E \) is induced by a 1-dimensional representation of some subgroup.
Proof. We apply the theorem step by step using the transitivity of induced representations until we get a 1-dimensional representation of a subgroup.
No
Lemma 10.1. \( {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \) is an ideal in \( {X}_{R}\left( G\right) \) .
Proof. This is immediate from Theorem 6.1.
No
Proposition 10.2. Every subgroup and every factor group of a p-elementary group is p-elementary. If \( S \) is a subgroup of the p-elementary group \( P \times C \) , where \( P \) is a p-group, and \( C \) is cyclic, of order prime to \( p \), then
Proof. Clear.
No
Lemma 10.3. If \( d \in \mathbf{Z} \) and the constant function \( d.{1}_{G} \) belongs to \( {V}_{R} \) then \( d.{1}_{G} \) belongs to \( {V}_{\mathbf{z}} \) .
Proof. We contend that \( 1,\zeta ,\ldots ,{\zeta }^{N - 1} \) are linearly independent over \( {X}_{\mathbf{Z}}\left( G\right) \) . Indeed, a relation of linear dependence would yield\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{v = 1}}^{s}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 0}}^{{N - 1}}{c}_{vj}{\chi }_{v}{\zeta }^{j} = 0 \]\n\nwith intege...

Lemma 10.4. Let \( f \in {X}_{R}\left( G\right) \), and assume that \( f\left( \sigma \right) \in \mathbf{Z} \) for all \( \sigma \in G \) . Then \( f \) is constant \( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;p} \) on every \( p \) -class.
Proof. Let \( x = {\sigma \tau } \), where \( \sigma \) is \( p \) -singular, and \( \tau \) is \( p \) -regular, and \( \sigma ,\tau \) commute. It will suffice to prove that \[ f\left( x\right) \equiv f\left( \tau \right) \;\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;p}\right) \] Let \( H \) be the cyclic subgroup generated by \( ...
Yes
Lemma 10.5. Let \( R = \mathbf{Z}\left\lbrack \zeta \right\rbrack \) be as before. If \( a \in \mathbf{Z} \) and \( a \in {pR} \) then \( a \in p\mathbf{Z} \) .
Proof. This is immediate from the fact that \( R \) has a basis over \( \mathbf{Z} \) such that 1 is a basis element.
No
Lemma 10.6. Let \( \tau \) be p-regular in \( G \), and let \( T \) be the cyclic subgroup generated by \( \tau \) . Let \( C \) be the subgroup of \( G \) consisting of all elements commuting with \( \tau \) . Let \( P \) be a p-Sylow subgroup of \( C \) . Then there exists an element \( \psi \in {X}_{R}\left( {T \tim...
Proof. We note that the subgroup of \( G \) generated by \( T \) and \( P \) is a direct product \( T \times P \) . Let \( {\psi }_{1},\ldots ,{\psi }_{r} \) be the simple characters of the cyclic group \( T \), and assume that these are extended to \( T \times P \) by composition with the projection:\n\n\[ T \times P ...
Yes
Lemma 10.7. Assume that the family of subgroups \( \left\{ {H}_{\alpha }\right\} \) covers \( G \) (i.e. every element of \( G \) lies in some \( {H}_{\alpha } \) ). Iff is a class function on \( G \) taking its values in \( \mathbf{Z} \), and such that all the values are divisible by \( n = \left( {G : 1}\right) \), t...
Proof. Let \( \gamma \) be a conjugacy class, and let \( p \) be prime to \( n \) . Every element of \( G \) is \( p \) -regular, and all \( p \) -subgroups of \( G \) are trivial. Furthermore, \( p \) -conjugacy is the same as conjugacy. Applying Lemma 10.6, we find that there exists in \( {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \) a ...
Yes
Theorem 10.8. (Artin). Every character of \( G \) is a linear combination with rational coefficients of induced characters from cyclic subgroups.
Proof. In Lemma 10.7, let \( \left\{ {H}_{\alpha }\right\} \) be the family of cyclic subgroups of \( G \) . The constant function \( n.{1}_{G} \) belongs to \( {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \) . By Lemma 10.3, this function belongs to \( {V}_{\mathbf{Z}}\left( G\right) \), and hence \( n{X}_{\mathbf{Z}}\left( G\right) \subse...
No
Lemma 10.9. Let \( p \) be a prime number, and assume that every p-elementary subgroup of \( G \) is contained in some \( {H}_{\alpha } \) . Then there exists a function \( f \in {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \) whose values are in \( \mathbf{Z} \), and \( \equiv 1\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;{p}^{r}}\right) \) .
Proof. We apply Lemma 10.6 again. For each \( p \) -class \( \gamma \), we can find a function \( {f}_{\gamma } \) in \( {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \), whose values are 0 on elements outside \( \gamma \), and \( ≢ 0{\;\operatorname{mod}\;p} \) for elements of \( \gamma \) . Let \( f = \sum {f}_{\gamma } \), the sum being t...
Yes
Lemma 10.10. Let \( p \) be a prime number and assume that every p-elementary subgroup of \( G \) is contained in some \( {H}_{\alpha } \) . Let \( n = {n}_{0}{p}^{r} \) where \( {n}_{0} \) is prime to \( p \) . Then the constant function \( {n}_{0} \cdot {1}_{G} \) belongs to \( {V}_{\mathbf{z}}\left( G\right) \) .
Proof. By Lemma 10.3, it suffices to prove that \( {n}_{0} \cdot {1}_{G} \) belongs to \( {V}_{R}\left( G\right) \) . Let \( f \) be as in Lemma 10.9. Then\n\n\[ \n{n}_{0} \cdot {1}_{G} = {n}_{0}\left( {{1}_{G} - f}\right) + {n}_{0}f.\n\]\n\nSince \( {n}_{0}\left( {{1}_{G} - f}\right) \) has values divisible by \( {n}_...

Theorem 10.11. (Brauer). Assume that for every prime number \( p \), every p-elementary subgroup of \( G \) is contained in some \( {H}_{\alpha } \) . Then \( X\left( G\right) = {V}_{\mathbf{Z}}\left( G\right) \) . Every character of \( G \) is a linear combination, with integer coefficients, of characters induced from...
Proof. Immediate from Lemma 10.10, since we can find functions \( {n}_{0} \cdot {1}_{G} \) in \( {V}_{\mathbf{z}}\left( G\right) \) with \( {n}_{0} \) relatively prime to any given prime number.
No
Corollary 10.12. A class function \( f \) on \( G \) belongs to \( X\left( G\right) \) if and only if its restriction to \( {H}_{\alpha } \) belongs to \( X\left( {H}_{\alpha }\right) \) for each \( \alpha \) .
Proof. Assume that the restriction of \( f \) to \( {H}_{\alpha } \) is a character on \( {H}_{\alpha } \) for each \( \alpha \) . By the theorem, we can write\n\n\[ \n{1}_{G} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{\alpha }{c}_{\alpha }{\operatorname{ind}}_{{H}_{\alpha }}^{G}\left( {\psi }_{\alpha }\right)\n\]\n\nwhere \( {c}_{\alph...
Yes
Theorem 10.13. (Brauer). Every character of \( G \) is a linear combination with integer coefficients of characters induced by 1-dimensional characters of subgroups.
Proof. By Theorem 10.11, and the transitivity of induction, it suffices to prove that every character of a \( p \) -elementary group has the property stated in the theorem. But we have proved this in the preceding section, Corollary 9.5.
Yes
Proposition 11.1. Let the notation be as above. Then the characters of the representations of \( G \) on \( E \) and on \( {E}^{\prime } \) are equal.
Proof. Let \( \left\{ {{v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{m}}\right\} \) be a basis of \( E \) over \( k \) . Then\n\n\[\n\left\{ {1 \otimes {v}_{1},\ldots ,1 \otimes {v}_{m}}\right\}\n\]\n\nis a basis of \( {E}^{\prime } \) over \( {k}^{\prime } \) . Thus the matrices representing an element \( \sigma \) of \( G \) with respect to ...

Proposition 11.2. Let \( E, F \) be simple representation spaces for the finite group \( G \) over \( k \) . Let \( {k}^{\prime } \) be an extension of \( k \) . Assume that \( E, F \) are not \( G \) - isomorphic. Then no \( {k}^{\prime } \) -simple component of \( {E}_{{k}^{\prime }} \) appears in the direct sum deco...

Consider the direct product decomposition\n\n\[ k\left\lbrack G\right\rbrack = \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{\mu = 1}}^{{s\left( k\right) }}{R}_{\mu }\left( k\right) \]\n\nover \( k \), into a direct product of simple rings. Without loss of generality, we may assume that \( E, F \) are simle left ideals of \( k\left\...

Corollary 11.3. The simple characters \( {\chi }_{1},\ldots ,{\chi }_{s\left( k\right) } \) of \( G \) over \( k \) are linearly independent over any extension \( {k}^{\prime } \) of \( k \) .
Proof. This follows at once from the proposition, together with the linear independence of the \( {k}^{\prime } \) -simple characters over \( {k}^{\prime } \) .
No
Theorem 11.4. (Brauer). Let \( G \) be a finite group of exponent \( m \) . Every representation of \( G \) over the complex numbers (or an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) is definable over the field \( \mathbf{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) \) where \( {\zeta }_{m} \) is a primitive \( m \) -th root of u...
Proof. Let \( \chi \) be the character of a representation of \( G \) over \( \mathbf{C} \), i.e. an effective character. By Theorem 10.13, we can write\n\n\[ \chi = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{j}{c}_{j}{\operatorname{ind}}_{{S}_{j}}^{G}\left( {\psi }_{j}\right) ,\;{c}_{j} \in \mathbf{Z}, \]\n\nthe sum being taken over a fi...

Lemma 12.1. The subgroup \( {C}_{K} \) is a maximal commutative semisimple subgroup.
Proof. If \( \alpha \in G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) commutes with all elements of \( {C}_{K} \) then \( \alpha \) must lie in \( F\left\lbrack {C}_{K}\right\rbrack \), for otherwise \( \{ 1,\alpha \} \) would be linearly independent over \( F\left\lbrack {C}_{K}\right\rbrack \), whence \( {\operatorname{Mat}}_{2}\left( ...
Yes
Lemma 12.2. Every maximal commutative semisimple subgroup of \( G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) is a Cartan subgroup, and conversely.
Proof. It is clear that the split Cartan subgroup is maximal commutative semisimple. Suppose that \( H \) is a maximal commutative semisimple subgroup of \( G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) . If \( H \) is diagonalizable over \( F \), then \( H \) is contained in a conjugate of the split Cartan. On the other hand, suppose \(...

Proposition 12.3. Let \( H \) be a Cartan subgroup of \( G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) (split or not). Then\n\n\( H \) is of index 2 in its normalizer \( N\left( H\right) \) .
Proof. We may view \( G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) as operating on the 2-dimensional vector space \( {V}^{\mathrm{a}} = {F}^{\mathrm{a}} \oplus {F}^{\mathrm{a}} \), over the algebraic closure \( {F}^{\mathrm{a}} \) . Whether \( H \) is split or not, the eigencharacters are distinct (because of the separability assumption...

Theorem 12.6. The irreducible characters of \( G = G{L}_{2}\left( F\right) \) are as follows.
Proof. We have exhibited characters of four types. In each case it is immediate from our construction that we get the stated number of distinct characters of the given type. The dimensions as stated are immediately computed from the dimensions of induced characters as the index of the subgroup from which we induce, and...

Let \( E \) be free of dimension \( n \) over \( R \). If \( r > n \) then \( \mathop{\bigwedge }\limits^{r}\left( E\right) = 0 \). Let \( \left\{ {{v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{n}}\right\} \) be a basis of \( E \) over \( R \). If \( 1 \leqq r \leqq n \), then \( {\bigwedge }^{r}\left( E\right) \) is free over \( R \), and the...
Proof. We shall first prove our assertion when \( r = n \). Every element of \( E \) can be written in the form \( \sum {a}_{i}{v}_{i} \), and hence using the formula \( x \land y = - y \land x \) we conclude that \( {v}_{1} \land \cdots \land {v}_{n} \) generates \( \mathop{\bigwedge }\limits^{n}\left( E\right) \).

Proposition 1.2.

Then there is a natural isomorphism\n\n\\[ \n\varphi : {\\bigwedge }^{r}{E}^{\prime } \otimes {...
Proof. The proof proceeds in the usual two steps. First one shows the existence of a homomorphism \\( \\varphi \\) having the desired effect. The value on the right of the above formula is independent of the choice of \\( {u}_{1},\\ldots ,{u}_{s} \\) lifting \\( {w}_{1},\\ldots ,{w}_{s} \\) by using the alternating pro...

Proposition 1.3. There is a natural isomorphism\n\n\[ \mathop{\bigwedge }\limits^{i}{E}^{\prime } \otimes \mathop{\bigwedge }\limits^{{n - i}}{E}^{\prime \prime } \rightarrow \mathop{\bigwedge }\limits_{i}^{n}E/\mathop{\bigwedge }\limits_{{i + 1}}^{n}E. \]
Proof. Let \( {x}_{1}^{\prime \prime },\ldots ,{x}_{n - i}^{\prime \prime } \) be elements of \( {E}^{\prime \prime } \), and lift them to elements \( {y}_{1},\ldots ,{y}_{n - i} \) of \( E \) . We consider the map\n\n\[ \left( {{x}_{1}^{\prime },\ldots ,{x}_{i}^{\prime },{x}_{1}^{\prime \prime },\ldots ,{x}_{n - i}^{\...

Proof. Each natural injection of \( {E}^{\prime } \) and \( {E}^{\prime \prime } \) into \( E \) induces a natural map on the alternating algebras, and so gives the homomorphism\n\n\[ \n\land {E}^{\prime } \otimes \land {E}^{\prime \prime } \rightarrow \land E\n\]\n\nwhich is graded, i.e. for \( p = 0,\ldots, n \) we h...

If one uses the alternating products as mentioned above, the proof simply says that the matrix of the composite of linear maps with respect to fixed bases is the product of the matrices. If one does not use the alternating products, then one can prove the proposition by a direct computation which will be left to the re...

Lemma 2.3. The Fitting ideal \( {F}_{k}\left( x\right) \) does not depend on the choice of generators \( \left( x\right) \) .

Then the diagonal matrix whose diagonal components are \( {a}_{1},\ldots ,{a}_{q} \) is a matrix of relations, so the definition of the Fitting ideal shows that the determi...

Corollary 2.6. Let \( E = R/\mathfrak{a} \) for some ideal \( \mathfrak{a} \) . Then \( F\left( E\right) = \mathfrak{a} \) .
Proof. The module \( R/a \) can be generated by one element so the corollary is an immediate consequence of the proposition.

Proof. Let \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{p} \) generate \( {E}^{i} \) and \( {y}_{1},\ldots ,{y}_{q} \) generate \( {E}^{\prime \prime } \) . Then \( \left( {x, y}\right) \) generate \( {E}^{\prime } \oplus {E}^{\prime \prime } \) . By Proposition 2.6 we know the inclusion\n\n\[ \n\sum {F}_{r}\left( {E}^{\prime }\right) {F}_...

Corollary 2.9. Let\n\n\[ E = {\bigoplus }_{i = 1}^{s}R/{a}_{i} \]\n\nwhere \( {\mathfrak{a}}_{i} \) is an ideal. Then \( F\left( E\right) = {\mathfrak{a}}_{1}\cdots {\mathfrak{a}}_{s} \).

Theorem 3.1. The pair \( \left( {J/{J}^{2}, d}\right) \) is universal for derivations of \( A \) . This means: Given a derivation \( D : A \rightarrow M \) there exists a unique \( A \) -linear map \( f : J/{J}^{2} \rightarrow M \) making the following diagram commutative.

Proof. Note that \( f\left( 0\right) \in {\mathfrak{o}}^{\left( n\right) } \) has one component which is a unit. It suffices to prove that over any commutative ring \( R \) any element \( c \in {R}^{\left( n\right) } \) such that some component is a unit is equivalent over \( R \) to \( {e}^{1} \), and this is obvious.

Lemma 3.3. Let \( R \) be an entire ring, and let \( S \) be a multiplicative subset. Let \( x, y \) be independent variables. If \( f\left( x\right) \sim f\left( 0\right) \) over \( {S}^{-1}R\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack \), then there exists \( c \in S \) such that \( f\left( {x + {cy}}\right) \sim f\left( x\right) \) ...

Then \( M{\left( x\right) }^{-1}f\left( x\right) = f\left( 0\right) \) is constant, and thus invariant under translation \( x \mapsto x + y \) . Let\n\n\[ G\left...

Theorem 3.5. (Quillen-Suslin). Let \( k \) be a field and let \( f \) be a unimodular vector in \( k{\left\lbrack {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{r}\right\rbrack }^{\left( n\right) } \). Then \( f \) has the unimodular extension property.
Proof. By induction on \( r \). If \( r = 1 \) then \( k\left\lbrack {x}_{1}\right\rbrack \) is a principal ring and the theorem is left to the reader. Assume the theorem for \( r - 1 \) variables with \( r \geqq 2 \), and put\n\n\[ R = k\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{r - 1}}\right\rbrack .\n\]\n\nWe view \( f \) a...

Theorem 3.6. Let \( A \) be a commutative ring which has the unimodular column extension property. Then every stably free module over \( A \) is free.
Proof. Let \( E \) be stably free. We use induction on the rank of the free modules \( F \) such that \( E \oplus F \) is free. By induction, it suffices to prove that if \( E \oplus A \) is free then \( E \) is free. Let \( E \oplus A = {A}^{\left( n\right) } \) and let\n\n\[ p : {A}^{\left( n\right) } \rightarrow A \...

Proof. Let \( {\bar{x}}_{i} \) be the class of \( {x}_{i}{\;\operatorname{mod}\;{I}^{2}} \) . It suffices to prove that \( {\bar{x}}_{1},\ldots ,{\bar{x}}_{r} \) are linearly independent. We do this by induction on \( r \) . For \( r = 1 \), if \( \bar{a}\bar{x} = 0 \) , then \( {ax} = b{x}^{2} \) for some \( b \in A \...

Lemma 4.4. Let \( y \in A \) and let \( C \) be a complex as above. Then \( m\left( y\right) \) annihilates \( {H}_{p}\left( {C \otimes K\left( y\right) }\right) \) for all \( p \geqq 0 \) .
Proof. If \( \left( {v, w}\right) \) is a cycle, i.e. \( d\left( {v, w}\right) = 0 \), then from (7) we get at once that \( \left( {{yv},{yw}}\right) = d\left( {0,{\left( -1\right) }^{p}v}\right) \), which proves the lemma.

Let \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{r} \) be a regular sequence for \( M \) . Then \( {H}_{p}K\left( {x;M}\right) = 0 \) for \( p > 0 \) . (Of course, \( {H}_{0}K\left( {x;M}\right) = M/{IM} \) .) In other words, the augmented Koszul complex is exact.
Proof. We prove (a) by induction on \( r \) . If \( r = 1 \) then \( {H}_{1}\left( {x;M}\right) = 0 \) directly from the definition. Suppose \( r > 1 \) . We use the exact sequence of Theorem 4.5(a). If \( p > 1 \) then \( {H}_{p}\left( {x;M}\right) \) is between two homology groups which are 0, so \( {H}_{p}\left( {x;...

Proof. For the proof, we assume that the reader is acquainted with the exact homology sequence. Assume by induction that \( {\operatorname{Ext}}^{i}\left( {A/I, M}\right) = 0 \) for \( i < r - 1 \) . Then we have the exact sequence \[ 0 = {\operatorname{Ext}}^{i - 1}\left( {A/I, M/{x}_{1}M}\right) \rightarrow {\operato...
