  3. Character theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_theory

    A character χ ρ is called irreducible or simple if ρ is an irreducible representation. The degree of the character χ is the dimension of ρ; in characteristic zero this is equal to the value χ(1). A character of degree 1 is called linear. When G is finite and F has characteristic zero, the kernel of the character χ ρ is the normal subgroup:

  4. Character group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_group

    In mathematics, a character group is the group of representations of an abelian group by complex-valued functions. These functions can be thought of as one-dimensional matrix representations and so are special cases of the group characters that arise in the related context of character theory .

    The term character development is sometimes used as a synonym. This representation may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary, and indirect (or "dramatic") methods inviting readers to infer qualities from characters' actions , dialogue , or appearance.

    Language philosopher Steve Neale distinguishes between two types: cultural verisimilitude, meaning plausibility of the fictional work within the cultural and/or historical context of the real world, outside of the work; and generic verisimilitude, meaning plausibility of a fictional work within the bounds of its own genre (so that, for example ...

    A party of adventurers venturing forth in Tales of Trolls & Treasures. A party is a group of characters adventuring together in a role-playing game. [1] [2] In tabletop role-playing, a party is composed of a group of player characters, occasionally with the addition of non-player character allies controlled by those players or by the gamemaster.

  9. Coherent set of characters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_set_of_characters

    A typical one is as follows. Suppose that H is a subgroup of a group G with normalizer N, such that N is a Frobenius group with kernel H, and let S be the irreducible characters of N that do not have H in their kernel. Suppose that τ is a linear isometry from I 0 (S) into the degree 0 characters of G. Then τ is coherent unless
