Definition
Definition with symbols
A subgroup of
is said to be a cutting subgroup if it is a self-normalizing subgroup and satisfies the further conditions (equivalent subject to the subgroup being self-normalizing):
- There exists a real representation
of
such that the dimension of
is one more than the dimension of
(
and
are the subspaces comprising points fixed pointwise under the action of
and
respectively)
- There exists a real representation
of
such that
has dimension 0 and
has dimension 1
- There exists an irreducible nontrivial real representation
of
such that
has dimension 1
