Summary

This page regards the linear representation theory of the group General affine group:GA(1,5). We shall use the following presentation:

.

Item Value
degrees of irreducible representations over a splitting field (such as or ) 1,1,1,1,4
maximum: 4, lcm: 4, number: 5, sum of squares: 20

Character table

FACTS TO CHECK AGAINST (for characters of irreducible linear representations over a splitting field):
Orthogonality relations: Character orthogonality theorem | Column orthogonality theorem
Separation results (basically says rows independent, columns independent): Splitting implies characters form a basis for space of class functions|Character determines representation in characteristic zero
Numerical facts: Characters are cyclotomic integers | Size-degree-weighted characters are algebraic integers
Character value facts: Irreducible character of degree greater than one takes value zero on some conjugacy class| Conjugacy class of more than average size has character value zero for some irreducible character | Zero-or-scalar lemma

This character table works over characteristic zero:

Representation/Conj class (size 1) (size 5) (size 4) (size 5) (size 5)
Trivial representation 1 1 1 1 1
first non-trivial irrep of dimension 1 1 1 1 -1 -1
second non-trivial irrep of dimension 1 1 -1 1 i -i
third non-trivial irrep of dimension 1 1 -1 1 -i i
irreducible representation of dimension 4 4 0 -1 0 0
