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 |
