Glossary of representation theory

This is a glossary of representation theory in mathematics.

The term "module" is often used synonymously for a representation; for the module-theoretic terminology, see also glossary of module theory.

See also Glossary of Lie groups and Lie algebras, list of representation theory topics and Category:Representation theory.

Notations: We write $\mathbb {G} _{m}=GL_{1}$ . Thus, for example, a one-representation (i.e., a character) of a group G is of the form $\chi :G\to \mathbb {G} _{m}$ .

character: 1. A character is a one-dimensional representation.; 2. The character of a finite-dimensional representation π is the function $g\mapsto \operatorname {tr} \pi (g)$ . In other words, it is the composition $G{\overset {\pi }{\to }}GL(V){\overset {\operatorname {tr} }{\to }}\mathbb {G} _{m}$ .; 3.

Here, $V_{0}$ is called an F-form of V (and is not necessarily unique).

direct sum: The direct sum of representations V, W is a representation that is the direct sum $V\oplus W$ of the vector spaces together with the linear group action $\pi _{V\oplus W}(g)(v+w)=\pi _{V}(g)v+\pi _{W}(g)w$ .
discrete: An irreducible representation of a Lie group G is said to be in the discrete series if the matrix coefficients of it are all square integrable. For example, if G is compact, then every irreducible representation of it is in the discrete series.

is injective as a function.

.

fundamental

Fundamental representation: For the irreducible representations of a simply-connected compact Lie group there exists a set of fundamental weights, indexed by the vertices of the Dynkin diagram of G, such that dominant weights are simply non-negative integer linear combinations of the fundamental weights. The corresponding irreducible representations are the fundamental representations of the Lie group. In particular, from the expansion of a dominant weight in terms of the fundamental weights, one can take a corresponding tensor product of the fundamental representations and extract one copy of the irreducible representation corresponding to that dominant weight. In the case of the special unitary group SU(n), the n − 1 fundamental representations are the wedge products

consisting of alternating tensors, for k=1,2,...,n-1.

G

Given a complex semisimple Lie algebra ${\mathfrak {g}}$ , Cartan subalgebra ${\mathfrak {h}}$ and a choice of a positive Weyl chamber, the highest weight of a representation of ${\mathfrak {g}}$ is the weight of an ${\mathfrak {h}}$ -weight vector v such that $E_{\alpha }v=0$ for every positive root $\alpha$ (v is called the highest weight vector).; 2. The theorem of the highest weight states (1) two finite-dimensional irreducible representations of ${\mathfrak {g}}$ are isomorphic if and only if they have the same highest weight and (2) for each dominant integral $\lambda \in {\mathfrak {h}}^{*}$ , there is a finite-dimensional irreducible representation having $\lambda$ as its highest weight.
Hom: The Hom representation $\operatorname {Hom} (V,W)$ of representations V, W is a representation with the group action obtained by the vector space identification $\operatorname {Hom} (V,W)=V^{*}\otimes W$ .

1. Given a representation

(\sigma ,W)

of a subgroup H of a group G, the induced representation

\operatorname {Ind} _{H}^{G}(\sigma )=\{f:G\to W|f(hg)=\sigma (h)f(g)\}

is a representation of G that is induced on the H-linear functions

f:G\to W

; cf. #Frobenius reciprocity.

2. Depending on applications, it is common to impose further conditions on the functions

f:G\to W

; for example, if the functions are required to be compactly supported, then the resulting induction is called the compact induction.

infinitesimally

Two admissible representations of a real reductive group are said to be infinitesimally equivalent if their associated Lie algebra representations on the space of K-finite vectors are isomorphic.

integrable

A representation of a Kac–Moody algebra is said to be integrable if (1) it is a sum of weight spaces and (2) Chevalley generators

e_{i},f_{i}

are locally nilpotent.

intertwining

The term "intertwining operator" is an old name for a G-linear map between representations.

involution

An involution representation is a representation of a C*-algebra on a Hilbert space that preserves involution.

isotypic

1. Given a representation V and a simple representation W (subrepresebtation or otherwise), the isotypic component of V of type W is the direct sum of all subrepresentations of V that are isomorphic to W. For example, let A be a ring and G a group acting on it as automorphisms. If A is semisimple as a G-module, then the ring of invariants

A^{G}

is the isotypic component of A of trivial type.

2. The isotypic decomposition of a semisimple representation is the decomposition into the isotypic components.

M

Maschke's theorem: Maschke's theorem states that a finite-dimensional representation over a field F of a finite group G is a semisimple representation if the characteristic of F does not divide the order of G.

Maass–Selberg: Maass–Selberg relations.
matrix coefficient: A matrix coefficient of a representation $\pi :G\to GL(V)$ is a linear combination of functions on G of the form $g\mapsto \langle \pi (g)v,\alpha \rangle$ for v in V and $\alpha$ in the dual space $V^{*}$ . Note the notion makes sense for any group: if G is a topological group and $\pi$ is continuous, then a matrix matrix coefficient would be a continuous function on G. If G and $\pi$ are algebraic, it would be a regular function on G.
modular: The modular representation theory.
Molien: Given a finite-dimensional complex representation V of a finite group G, Molien's theorem says that the series $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\dim(\mathbb {C} [V]^{G})_{n}t^{n}$ , where $(\mathbb {C} [V]^{G})_{n}$ denotes the space of $G$ -invariant homogeneous polynomials on V of degree n, coincides with $(\#G)^{-1}\sum _{g\in G}\det(1-tg|V)^{-1}$ . The theorem is also valid for a reductive group by replacing $(\#G)^{-1}\sum _{g\in G}$ by integration over a maximal compact subgroup.

For example, if X is a finite set and V is viewed as a vector space with a basis parameteized by X, then the symmetric group $G=\operatorname {Sym} (X)$ permutates the elements of the basis and its linear extension is precisely the permutation representation.
Plancherel: Plancherel formula
positive-energy representation: positive-energy representation.
primitive: The term "primitive element" (or a vector) is an old term for a Borel-weight vector.
projective: A projective representation of a group G is a group homomorphism $\pi :G\to PGL(V)=GL(V)/\mathbb {G} _{m}$ . Since $PGL(V)=\operatorname {Aut} (\mathbb {P} (V))$ , a projective representation is precisely a group action of G on $\mathbb {P} (V)$ as automorphisms.
proper: A proper subrepresentation of a representation V is a subrepresentstion that is not V.

Representation theory is simple to define: it is the study of the ways in which a given group may act on vector spaces. It is almost certainly unique, however, among such clearly delineated subjects, in the breadth of its interest to mathematicians. This is not surprising: group actions are ubiquitous in 20th century mathematics, and where the object on which a group acts is not a vector space, we have learned to replace it by one that is (e.g., a cohomology group, tangent space, etc.). As a consequence, many mathematicians other than specialists in the field (or even those who think they might want to be) come in contact with the subject in various ways.

Fulton, William; Harris, Joe, Representation Theory: A First Course

A linear representation of a group G is a group homomorphism $\pi :G\to GL(V)$ from G to the general linear group $GL(V)$ . Depending on the group G, the homomorphism $\pi$ is often implicitly required to be a morphishm in a category to which G belongs; e.g., if G is a topological group, then $\pi$ must be continuous. The adjective “linear” is often omitted.; 2. Equivalently, a linear representation is a group action of G on a vector space V that is linear: the action $\sigma :G\times V\to V$ such that for each g in G, $\sigma _{g}:V\to V,v\mapsto \sigma (g,v)$ is a linear transformation.; 3. A virtual representation is an element of the Grothendieck ring of the category of representations.

defined by

(\lambda _{i},\alpha _{j}^{v})=\delta _{ij}

, is called the fundamental dominant weights.

Weyl

1. Hermann Weyl

Z

zero: A zero representation is a zero-dimensional representation. Note: while a zero representation is a trivial representation, a trivial representation need not be zero (since “trivial” mean G acts trivially.)
