GROUP THEORY SYMBOL
GTCharacterTable
GTCharacterTable[group]
gives the character table of a group.
DetailsDetails
- The trace of the representation matrix of an element of a group is called character . The character systems of the irreducible representations of a finite group are conventionally displayed in the form of a "character table".
- All elements in the same class have the same character.
- The number of inequivalent irreducible representations is equal to the number of classes of a finite group .
- For a finite group a necessary and sufficient condition for two representations to be equivalent is provided by the equality of their character systems.
- If a group is finite, the sum of the squares of the dimensions of the inequivalent irreducible representations is equal to the order of .
- The output of GTCharacterTable is a list of all classes, a list of the character system and a list of the names of the irreducible representations.
- Attention: The names of the irreducible representations are generated automatically and may differ from tables in the literature!
