Modular representation theory is a branch of mathematics, and is the part of representation theory that studies linear representations of finite groups over a field K of positive characteristic p, nec
Brauer's three main theorems
Brauer's main theorems are three theorems in representation theory of finite groups linking the blocks of a finite group (in characteristic p) with those of its p-local subgroups, that is to say, the
Murnaghan–Nakayama rule
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the Murnaghan–Nakayama rule is a combinatorial method to compute irreducible character values of a symmetric group.There are several generalizations of this r
Frobenius reciprocity
In mathematics, and in particular representation theory, Frobenius reciprocity is a theorem expressing a duality between the process of restricting and inducting. It can be used to leverage knowledge
Artin's theorem on induced characters
In representation theory, a branch of mathematics, Artin's theorem, introduced by E. Artin, states that a character on a finite group is a rational linear combination of characters induced from cyclic
Representation theory of the symmetric group
In mathematics, the representation theory of the symmetric group is a particular case of the representation theory of finite groups, for which a concrete and detailed theory can be obtained. This has

In mathematics, a Young symmetrizer is an element of the group algebra of the symmetric group, constructed in such a way that, for the homomorphism from the group algebra to the endomorphisms of a vec
Principal indecomposable module
In mathematics, especially in the area of abstract algebra known as module theory, a principal indecomposable module has many important relations to the study of a ring's modules, especially its simpl
Representation theory of finite groups
The representation theory of groups is a part of mathematics which examines how groups act on given structures. Here the focus is in particular on operations of groups on vector spaces. Nevertheless,
