Statement

The basic statement is as follows: if $H$ is a subgroup of a group $G$, then the induced representation of $G$ from the regular representation of $H$ equals the regular representation of $G$.

The statement can be made in terms of characters (as class functions, in the sense of induced class function), in terms of permutation representations, or in terms of linear representations.
