Every finite-dimensional unitary representation on a Hilbert space is the direct sum of irreducible representations. Irreducible representations are always indecomposable (i.e. cannot be decomposed further into a direct sum of representations), but the converse may not hold, e.g. the two-dimensional representation of the real numbers acting by ...
The representation is called an irreducible representation, if these two are the only subrepresentations. Some authors also call these representations simple, given that they are precisely the simple modules over the group algebra []. Schur's lemma puts a strong constraint on maps between irreducible representations.
The irreducible representation for the C-O stretching vibration is A 1g + E g + T 1u. Of these, only T 1u is IR active. B 2 H 6 has D 2h molecular symmetry. The terminal B-H stretching vibrations which are active in IR are B 2u and B 3u. Diborane. Fac-Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CH 2 CN) 3, has C 3v geometry. The irreducible representation for the C-O ...
The irreducible complex characters of a finite group form a character table which encodes much useful information about the group G in a concise form. Each row is labelled by an irreducible character and the entries in the row are the values of that character on any representative of the respective conjugacy class of G (because characters are class functions).
There are three types of irreducible real representations of a finite group on a real vector space V, as Schur's lemma implies that the endomorphism ring commuting with the group action is a real associative division algebra and by the Frobenius theorem can only be isomorphic to either the real numbers, or the complex numbers, or the quaternions.
Schur–Weyl duality is a mathematical theorem in representation theory that relates irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the general linear and symmetric groups. Schur–Weyl duality forms an archetypical situation in representation theory involving two kinds of symmetry that determine each other.
In mathematics, specifically in representation theory, the Frobenius formula, introduced by G. Frobenius, computes the characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group S n. Among the other applications, the formula can be used to derive the hook length formula .
For n = 3, 4 there are two additional one-dimensional irreducible representations, corresponding to maps to the cyclic group of order 3: A 3 ≅ C 3 and A 4 → A 4 /V ≅ C 3. For n ≥ 7, there is just one irreducible representation of degree n − 1, and this is the smallest degree of a non-trivial irreducible representation.
