Abstract
We are given a finite group , an automorphism of of order , a Galois extension of fields of characteristic zero with cyclic Galois group of order , and an absolutely irreducible representation such that the action of on the character of is the same as the action of . Then the following are equivalent. is equivalent to a representation such that the action of on the entries of the matrices corresponds to the action of on , and the induced representation has Schur index one; that is, it is similar to a representation over . As examples, we discuss a three dimensional irreducible representation of over and a four dimensional irreducible representation of the double cover of over .
