This e-book is the 1st entire, glossy creation to the speculation of important uncomplicated algebras over arbitrary fields. ranging from the fundamentals, it reaches such complex effects because the Merkurjev-Suslin theorem. This theorem is either the fruits of labor initiated by way of Brauer, Noether, Hasse and Albert and the place to begin of present learn in motivic cohomology idea by way of Voevodsky, Suslin, Rost and others.

K∈G Thus z ∈ Z(A) if and only if λk = λgkg−1 for all g ∈ G, that is, if and only if z is a class function. 9. Let (V, ρ) be an irreducible representation of G, and let f ∈ Ck (G). Then we have |G| ρ(f ) = f, χ∗V idV dim(V ) Proof. idV for some λ ∈ k. idV ) = λ. dim(V ), hence we see that 1 λ= f (g)tr(ρ(g)) dim(V ) g∈G |G| = f, χ∗V . 10. For V be an irreducible representation let cV = dim(V ) |G| χV (g −1 )eg ∈ k[G]. g∈G Since χV is a class function, so is cV , indeed cV = dim(V ) ∗ |G| χV . 36 KEVIN MCGERTY Notice that if V is the trivial representation, then cV is just the element IG we studied earlier.

We have already seen that given ρ : G → GL(V ), we may construct an algebra map from k[G] → End(V ). Thus we need only check the converse. Suppose that ρ : k[G] → End(V ). For g ∈ G set ρG (g) = ρ(eg ). h) = ρ(egh ) = ρ(eg ) ◦ ρ(eh ) = ρG (g) ◦ ρG (h). But now since ρ(ee ) = idV , it follows that ρG (g) is invertible for every g ∈ G with inverse ρG (g −1 ), and hence ρG is a homomorphism from G to GL(V ) as required. We now use the group algebra to reformulate the averaging trick we used in the proof of Maschke’s theorem.

It is clear that C, the group generated by g, is a finite cyclic subgroup of G, hence we see that as a Crepresentation, V splits as a direct sum of lines. Since g ∈ C we immediately see that g is diagonalizable as required. Picking a basis {e1 , e2 , . . , en } of eigenvectors n of g, so that g(ei ) = λi ei say, we have χV (g) = i=1 λi . Since ρ(g −1 ) = ρ(g)−1 is n −1 diagonal on the same basis, with eigenvalues λ−1 ) = i=1 λ−1 i , it follows χV (g i . If k = C, then since ρ(g)|G| = id for any g ∈ G, the eigenvalues of ρ(g) are roots of unity, and hence they have modulus 1.
