In this chapter we introduce some functions which deal with a complex reducible representation R of a finite group G.
‣ ConstituentsOfRepresentation( rep ) | ( function ) |
called with a representation rep of a group G. This function returns a list of irreducible representations of G which are constituents of rep, and their corresponding multiplicities. For example, if rep is a representation of G affording a character X such that X = mY + nZ, where Y and Z are irreducible characters of G, and m and n are the corresponding multiplicities, then ConstituentsOfRepresentation returns [[m, S], [n, T]] where S and T are irreducible representations of G affording Y and Z, respectively. This function call can be quite expensive when G is a large group.
‣ IsReducibleRepresentation( rep ) | ( function ) |
If rep is a representation of a group G then IsReducibleRepresentation returns true if rep is a reducible representation of G.
‣ EquivalentBlockRepresentation( rep ) | ( function ) |
‣ EquivalentBlockRepresentation( list ) | ( function ) |
If rep is a reducible representation of a group G, this function returns a block diagonal representation of G equivalent to rep. If list = [[m1, R1], [m2, R2], ... , [mt, Rt]] is a list of irreducible representations R1, R2, ... , Rt of G with multiplicities m1, m2, ... , mt, then EquivalentBlockRepresentation returns a block diagonal representation of G containing the blocks R1, R2, ... , Rt.
