It is shown that the application of theorems of induced representations method, namely, Frobenius reciprocity theorem, transitivity of induction theorem, and Mackey theorem on symmetrized squares, makes simplifying standard techniques in the theory of electron structure and constructing Cooper pair wavefunctions on the basis of one-electron solid-state wavefunctions possible. It is proved that the nodal structure of topological superconductors in the case of multidimensional irreducible representations is defned by additional quantum numbers. Te technique is extended on projective representations in the case of nonsymmorphic space groups and examples of applications for topological superconductors UPt3 and Sr2RuO4 are considered. 1.

  • The Theory of Induced Representations in Field Theory
    QMW{PH{95{? hep-th/yymmnnn The Theory of Induced Representations in Field Theory Jose´ M. Figueroa-O'Farrill ABSTRACT These are some notes on Mackey's theory of induced representations. They are based on lectures at the ITP in Stony Brook in the Spring of 1987. They were intended as an exercise in the theory of homogeneous spaces (as principal bundles). They were never meant for distribution. x1 Introduction The theory of group representations is by no means a closed chapter in mathematics. Although for some large classes of groups all representations are more or less completely classified, this is not the case for all groups. The theory of induced representations is a method of obtaining representations of a topological group starting from a representation of a subgroup. The classic example and one of fundamental importance in physics is the Wigner construc- tion of representations of the Poincar´egroup. Later Mackey systematized this construction and made it applicable to a large class of groups. The method of induced representations appears geometrically very natural when expressed in the context of (homogeneous) vector bundles over a coset manifold. In fact, the representation of a group G induced from a represen- tation of a subgroup H will be decomposed as a \direct integral" indexed by the elements of the space of cosets G=H. The induced representation of G will be carried by the completion of a suitable subspace of the space of sections through a given vector bundle over G=H. In x2 we review the basic notions about coset manifolds emphasizing their connections with principal fibre bundles.

Then one can construct induced A module IndB M = A ⊗B M as the quotient of a free abelian group with generators from A × M by relations (a1 + a2) × m − a1 × m − a2 × m, a × (m1 + m2) − a × m1 − a × m2, ab × m − a × bm, and A acts on A ⊗B M by left multiplication. Note that j : M → A ⊗B M defined by j (m) = 1 ⊗ m is a homomorphism of B-modules. Lemma 1.1. Let N be an A-module, then for ϕ ∈ HomB (M, N) there exists a unique ψ ∈ HomA (A ⊗B M, N) such that ψ ◦ j = ϕ. Proof. Clearly, ψ must satisfy the relation ψ (a ⊗ m)= aψ (1 ⊗ m)= aϕ (m) . It is trivial to check that ψ is well defined. Exercise. Prove that for any B-module M there exists a unique A-module satisfying the conditions of Lemma 1.1. Corollary 1.2. (Frobenius reciprocity.) For any B-module M and A-module N there is an isomorphism of abelian groups ∼ HomB (M, N) = HomA (A ⊗B M, N) . F Example. Let k ⊂ F be a field extension. Then induction Indk is an exact functor from the category of vector spaces over k to the category of vector spaces over F , in the sense that the short exact sequence 0 → V1 → V2 → V3 → 0 becomes an exact sequence 0 → F ⊗k V1⊗→ F ⊗k V2 → F ⊗k V3 → 0.

  • Representations of Finite Groups’ Iordan Ganev 13 August 2012 Eugene, Oregon
    Notes for ‘Representations of Finite Groups’ Iordan Ganev 13 August 2012 Eugene, Oregon Contents 1 Introduction 2 2 Functions on finite sets 2 3 The group algebra C[G] 4 4 Induced representations 5 5 The Hecke algebra H(G; K) 7 6 Characters and the Frobenius character formula 9 7 Exercises 12 1 1 Introduction The following notes were written in preparation for the first talk of a week-long workshop on categorical representation theory. We focus on basic constructions in the representation theory of finite groups. The participants are likely familiar with much of the material in this talk; we hope that this review provides perspectives that will precipitate a better understanding of later talks of the workshop. 2 Functions on finite sets Let X be a finite set of size n. Let C[X] denote the vector space of complex-valued functions on X. In what follows, C[X] will be endowed with various algebra structures, depending on the nature of X. The simplest algebra structure is pointwise multiplication, and in this case we can identify C[X] with the algebra C × C × · · · × C (n times). To emphasize pointwise multiplication, we write (C[X], ptwise). A C[X]-module is the same as X-graded vector space, or a vector bundle on X. To see this, let V be a C[X]-module and let δx 2 C[X] denote the delta function at x. Observe that δ if x = y δ · δ = x x y 0 if x 6= y It follows that each δx acts as a projection onto a subspace Vx of V and Vx \ Vy = 0 if x 6= y.

For example, Cayley's Theorem tells us that every finite group is isomorphic to a subgroup of some symmetric group. In particular, representing groups as linear maps on some vector space allows us to translate group theory problems to linear algebra problems. In this paper, we will go over some introductory representation theory, which will allow us to reach an interesting result known as Frobenius Reciprocity. Afterwards, we will examine Frobenius Reciprocity from the perspective of category theory. 3 2 Representations of Finite Groups 2.1 Basic Definitions Definition 2.1.1 (Representation). A representation of a group G on a finite-dimensional vector space is a homomorphism φ : G ! GL(V ) where GL(V ) is the group of invertible linear endomorphisms on V . The degree of the representation is defined to be the dimension of the underlying vector space. Note that some people refer to V as the representation of G if it is clear what the underlying homomorphism is. Furthermore, if it is clear what the representation is from context, we will use g instead of φ(g).

  • Induced Representations and Frobenius Reciprocity 1
    Induced Representations and Frobenius Reciprocity Math G4344, Spring 2012 1 Generalities about Induced Representations For any group G and subgroup H, we get a restriction functor G ResH : Rep(G) ! Rep(H) that gives a representation of H from a representation of G, by simply restricting the group action to H. This is an exact functor. We would like to be able to go in the other direction, building up representations of G from representations of its subgroups. What we want is an induction functor G IndH : Rep(H) ! Rep(G) that should be an adjoint to the restriction functor. This adjointness relation is called \Frobenius Reciprocity". Unfortunately, there are two possible adjoints, Ind could be a left-adjoint G G HomG(IndH (V );W ) = HomH (V; ResH (W )) or a right-adjoint. Let's call the right-adjoint \coInd" G G HomG(V; coIndH (W )) = HomH (ResH (V );W ) Given an algebra A, with sub-algebra B, tensor product ⊗ and Hom of modules provide such functors. Since A HomA(A ⊗B V; W ) = HomB(V; ResB(W )) we can get a left-adjoint version of induction using the tensor product and since A HomA(V; HomB(A; W )) = HomB(ResB(V );W ) we can get a right-adjoint version of induction using Hom. So Definition 1 (Induction for finite groups). For H a subgroup of G, both finite groups, and V a representation of H, one has representations of G defined by G IndH (V ) = CG ⊗CH V and G coIndH (V ) = HomCH (CG; V ) and 1 G Theorem 1 (Frobenius reciprocity for finite groups).

  • Induced Representations, Intertwining Operators, and Transfer for Real Groups
    Induced Representations, Intertwining Operators and Transfer James Arthur This paper is dedicated to George Mackey. Abstract. Induced representations and intertwining operators give rise to distributions that represent critical terms in the trace formula. We shall de- scribe a conjectural relationship between these distributions and the Langlands- Shelstad-Kottwitz transfer of functions Our goal is to describe a conjectural relationship between intertwining oper- ators and the transfer of functions. One side of the proposed identity is a linear combination of traces tr RP (πw) ◦ IP (π; f) ; where IP (π; f) is the value of an induced representation at a test function f, and RP (πw) is a standard self-intertwining operator for the representation. Distribu- tions of this sort are critical terms in the trace formula. The other side is defined by the transfer of f to an endoscopic group. The endoscopic transfer of functions represents a sophisticated theory, some of it still conjectural, for comparing trace formulas on different groups [L2]. This is a central theme in the general study of automorphic forms. There are a number of relatively recent ideas of Langlands, Shelstad and Kot- twitz, which will have to be taken for granted in the statement of such an identity. On the other hand, induced representations and intertwining operators go back many years. They were lifelong preoccupations of George Mackey [M1]{[M5], whose investigations anticipated their future role as basic objects in modern rep- resentation theory. It is therefore fitting to devote the first part of the article to a historical introduction. I shall try to describe in elementary terms how Mackey's initial ideas are reflected in some of the ways the later theory developed.

  • APPENDIX A. INDUCED REPRESENTATIONS It Is Our Purpose Here to Provide a Brief Summary of the Main Ideas and Results on Induced R
    APPENDIX A. INDUCED REPRESENTATIONS It is our purpose here to provide a brief summary of the main ideas and results on induced representations which are fundamental to the subject matter of this entire treatise. The idea of forming induced representations -- that is, of inducing a representation of a group G from a representation of a subgroup H goes back to Frobenius in the last century. His work of course was in the case G finite. The possibility of forming induced representations for infinite groups was later explored (usually in primitive or ad hoc fashion) by many authors, most notably by the Russians Gelfand, Namiark, Graev, etc. The subject was finally givena firm footing by Mackey in the 1940's and early 1950's. It was a fundamental achievement, without which the theory of group representations might still be crawling around on its hands and knees. We begin with the notion of a quasi-invariant measure. Let G be a locally compact group and suppose X is a right Borel G-space. That is, there is a Borel map XxG + X, (x,g) + x•g, such that: x•e = x, Vx E X, and or said otherwise g + (g: x + x•g) is an anti-homomorphism of G into the group of Borel automorphisms of X. Next suppose that X carries a cr finite positive Borel measure ~· We say that ~ is quasi-invariant under the action of G if for every g E G, the measures ~ and ~·g are equivalent. By ~·g we mean the measure that assigns to a Borel set E ~X the value (~·g)(E) = ~(E•g), E•g = {x•g: x E E}.

This article is a retrospective view of the work of George Mackey and its impact on the mathematics of his time and ours. The principal themes of his work–systems of imprimitivity, induced representations, projective rep- resentations, Borel cohomology, metaplectic representations, and so on, are examined and shown to have been central in the development of the theory of unitary representations of arbitrary separable locally compact groups. Also examined are his contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics, in particular the circle of ideas that led to the famous Mackey-Gleason theorem and a significant sharpening of von Neumann’s theorem on the impossibil- ity of obtaining the results of quantum mechanics by a mechanism of hidden variables.

  • Unitary Representations of Topological Groups
    (July 28, 2014) Unitary representations of topological groups Paul Garrett [email protected] http:=/www.math.umn.edu/egarrett/ We develop basic properties of unitary Hilbert space representations of topological groups. The groups G are locally-compact, Hausdorff, and countably based. This is a slight revision of my handwritten 1992 notes, which were greatly influenced by [Robert 1983]. Nothing here is new, apart from details of presentation. See the brief notes on chronology at the end. One purpose is to isolate techniques and results in representation theory which do not depend upon additional structure of the groups. Much can be done in the representation theory of compact groups without anything more than the compactness. Similarly, the discrete decomposition of L2(ΓnG) for compact quotients ΓnG depends upon nothing more than compactness. Schur orthogonality and inner product relations can be proven for discrete series representations inside regular representations can be discussed without further hypotheses. The purely topological treatment of compact groups shows a degree of commonality between subsequent treatments of Lie groups and of p-adic groups, whose rich details might otherwise obscure the simplicity of some of their properties. We briefly review Haar measure, and prove the some basic things about invariant measures on quotients HnG, where this notation refers to a quotient on the left, consisting of cosets Hg. We briefly consider Gelfand-Pettis integrals for continuous compactly-supported vector valued functions with values in Hilbert spaces. We emphasize discretely occurring representations, neglecting (continuous) Hilbert integrals of representa- tions. Treatment of these discrete series more than suffices for compact groups.

  • Green Forms and the Arithmetic Siegel-Weil Formula 2
    GREEN FORMS AND THE ARITHMETIC SIEGEL-WEIL FORMULA LUIS E. GARCIA AND SIDDARTH SANKARAN Abstract. We construct natural Green forms for special cycles in orthogonal and unitary Shimura varieties, in all codimensions, and, for compact Shimura varieties of type O(p, 2) and U(p, 1), we show that the resulting local archimedean height pairings are related to special values of derivatives of Siegel Eisentein series. A conjecture put forward by Kudla relates these derivatives to arithmetic intersections of special cycles, and our results settle the part of his conjecture involving local archimedean heights.
