Abstract

Let GG be a finite group. A contravariant functor from the category of finite free GG-sets to vector spaces has an associated Hilbert series, which records the underlying sequence of GnG^n representations, nNn \in \mathbb N. We prove that this Hilbert series is rational with denominator given by linear polynomials with coefficients in the field generated by the character table of GG.
