A Vector-Valued Trace Formula For Finite Groups, Miles Chasek

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

We derive a trace formula that can be used to study representations of a finite group G induced from arbitrary representations of a subgroup Γ. We restrict our attention to finite-dimensional representations over the field of complex numbers. We consider some applications and examples of our trace formula, including a proof of the well-known Frobenius reciprocity theorem.
