Partial and global representations of finite groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is trivial), we develop further an effective theory that allows explicit computations. As a case study, we apply our theory to the symmetric group and its subgroup of permutations fixing 1: this provides a natural extension of the classical representation theory of the symmetric group.


Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(H\) a subgroup of \(G\). In the paper under review, the authors begin a systematic study of the partial representations of \(G\) that restrict to global representations of \(H\). In particular, they take inspiration from the paper [\textit{M. Dokuchaev} et al., J. Algebra 226, No. 1, 505--532 (2000; Zbl 0954.20004)] in which the case \(H=1\) is treated. After adapting several results from [loc. cit.], they develop further an effective theory that allows explicit computations. As a case study, they apply their results to the symmetric group \(\mathfrak{G}_{n}\) and its subgroup \(\mathfrak{S}_{n-1}\) of permutations fixing 1. This provides a natural extension of the classical representation theory of \(\mathfrak{G}_{n}\).
