    A note on the Kaloujnine-Krasner theorem

    No full text
    The celebrated Kaloujnine-Krasner theorem associates, with a short exact sequence 1 -> N -> (iota) G -> (pi) H -> 1 of groups and a section s:H -> G, an embedding Phi : G -> N(sic)H of G into the (unrestricted) wreath product of N and H. Given two groups H and N, a short exact sequence as above is called an extension of H by N, denoted by (G;iota,pi). Moreover, one says that two extensions (G(1);iota(1),pi(1)) and (G(2);iota(2),pi(2)) of H by N are equivalent if there exists a group isomorphism eta : G(1) -> G(2) such that iota(2)=eta circle iota(1) and pi(1)=pi(2)circle eta. We say that two embeddings Phi(1):G(1) -> N(sic)H and Phi(2):G(2)-> N(sic)H are equivalent if there exists a group isomorphism eta : G(1) -> G(2) such that Phi(1)=Phi(2) circle eta. We show that two extensions (G(1);iota(1),pi(1)) and (G(2);iota(2),pi(2)) are equivalent if and only if the embeddings Phi(1) and Phi(2), associated with any two sections s(1 ): H -> G(1) and s(2 ): H -> G(2) via the Kaloujnine-Krasner theorem, are equivalent

    This chapter is based on (Canad J Math 23:857–865, 1971; Canad J Math 25:1113–1119, 1973) by R. L. Roth. Previous papers with some results on this subject include (J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo Sec. I 10:129–146, 1964) (Pacific J Math 32:119–129, 1970) by N. Iwahori – H. Matsumoto and G. J. Janusz, respectively. See also Sect. 2.4, where the more general case when G∕IG(σ) is Abelian was studied

    Projective representations of finite abelian groups with applications

    No full text
    In this chapter, we describe the irreducible projective representations of a finite Abelian group: we shall use the Clifford theory from the previous chapter. Then, by means of the machinery developed in Sect. 7.3, we describe the ordinary, irreducible representations of finite metabelian groups. As a particular case, we obtain an alternative description of the irreducible representations of finite 2-step nilpotent groups (cf. Sect. 6.6 )

    Sia G un gruppo finito e K un sottogruppo. Dalla similarità tra rappresentazioni indotte e rappresentazioni permutazionali abbiamo un isomorfismo tra l'algebra delle funzioni bi-K-invarianti su G e il commutante della rappresentazione ottenuta inducendo la banale da K a G.Let G be a finite group and K ≤ G a subgroup. Recalling the equality between the induced representation (IndKGιK,IndKGC) and the permutation representation (λ, L(G)K), (1.11) yields a ∗-algebra isomorphism between the algebra of bi-K-invariant functions on G and the commutant of the representation obtained by inducing to G the trivial representation of K

    Central Extensions and the Orbit Method

    No full text
    In this chapter we treat central extensions of groups, a particular case of the construction in Sect. 1.5, and we give a complete cohomological characterization of these. Following Mihailovs (The orbit method for finite groups of nilpotency class two of odd order. Preprint: arXiv.org: math.RT/0001092) and Kokhas (J Math Sci (NY) 131(2):5508–5555, 2004) with a 2-step nilpotent group with 2-divisible center we associate a 2-step nilpotent Lie ring. This is a key construction for the definition and application of the orbit method
