A Numerical Invariant for Linear Representations of Finite Groups

چکیده
We study the notion of essential dimension for a linear representation of a finite group. In characteristic zero we relate it to the canonical dimension of certain products of Weil transfers of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. We then proceed to compute the canonical dimension of a broad class of varieties of this type, extending earlier results of the first author. As a consequence, we prove analogues of classical theorems of R. Brauer and O. Schilling about the Schur index, where the Schur index of a representation is replaced by its essential dimension. In the last section we show that in the modular setting ed(ρ) can be arbitrary large (under a mild assumption on G). Here G is fixed, and ρ is allowed to range over the finite-dimensional representations of G. The appendix gives a constructive version of this result.

On the Mark and Markaracter Tables of Finite Groups
Let G be a finite group and C(G) be the family of representative conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. The matrix whose H,K-entry is the number of fixed points of the set G/K under the action of H is called the table of marks of G where H,K run through all elements in C(G). Shinsaku Fujita for the first time introduced the term “markaracter” to discuss marks for permutation representati...
متن کاملGroups with Two Extreme Character Degrees and their Minimal Faithful Representations
for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...
متن کاملGeneralized Baer-Invariant of a Pair of Groups and the Direct Limit
In this paper we introduce the concept of generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of groups with respect to two varieties ? and ? of groups. We give some inequalities for the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups, when ? is considered to be the Schur-Baer variety. Further, we present a sufficient condition under which the order of the generalized Baer-invariant of a pair of finite ...

متن کاملNON-STANDARD FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF SECOND ORDER LINEAR FREDHOLM INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
In this article we have considered a non-standard finite difference method for the solution of second order Fredholm integro differential equation type initial value problems. The non-standard finite difference method and the composite trapezoidal quadrature method is used to transform the Fredholm integro-differential equation into a system of equations. We have also developed a numerical met...
متن کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...
