The Irreducible Representations Of D2n, Melissa Soto
The Irreducible Representations Of D2n, Melissa Soto
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Irreducible representations of a finite group over a field are important because all representations of a group are direct sums of irreducible representations. Maschke tells us that if φ is a representation of the finite group G of order n on the m-dimensional space V over the field K of complex numbers and if U is an invariant subspace of φ, then U has a complementary reducing subspace W .
The objective of this thesis is to find all irreducible representations of the dihedral group D2n. The reason we will work with the dihedral group is because it is one …
