Total Characters and Chebyshev Polynomials

چکیده
The total character τ of a finite group G is defined as the sum of all the irreducible characters of G. K. W. Johnson asks when it is possible to express τ as a polynomial with integer coefficients in a single irreducible character. In this paper, we give a complete answer to Johnson’s question for all finite dihedral groups. In particular, we show that, when such a polynomial exists, it is unique and it is the sum of certain Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind in any faithful irreducible character of the dihedral group G.

Quantized Chebyshev polynomials and cluster characters with coefficients
We introduce quantized Chebyshev polynomials as deformations of generalized Chebyshev polynomials previously introduced by the author in the context of acyclic coefficient-free cluster algebras. We prove that these quantized polynomials arise in cluster algebras with principal coefficients associated to acyclic quivers of infinite representation types and equioriented Dynkin quivers of type A. ...

Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind in n variables z. , Zt , ... , z„ are introduced. The variables z, , z-,..... z„ are the characters of the representations of SL(n + 1, C) corresponding to the fundamental weights. The Chebyshev polynomials are eigenpolynomials of a second order linear partial differential operator which is in fact the radial part of the Laplace-Beltrami op...

متن کاملA fractional type of the Chebyshev polynomials for approximation of solution of linear fractional differential equations
In this paper we introduce a type of fractional-order polynomials based on the classical Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (FCSs). Also we construct the operational matrix of fractional derivative of order $ gamma $ in the Caputo for FCSs and show that this matrix with the Tau method are utilized to reduce the solution of some fractional-order differential equations.
