Abstract

Let KK be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 00 and let GG be a finite cyclic group of order nn. In this note we prove, using induction on the number of prime divisors of nn, that RK(G)/IZ[X]/Φn(X)R_K(G)/I \cong \mathbb{Z}[X]/\langle \Phi_n(X) \rangle where RK(G)R_K(G) denotes the ring of KK-representations of GG and II is the sum of ideals IndHG(RK(H))\mathrm{Ind}_H^G(R_K(H)) of RK(G)R_K(G) as HH varies over all proper subgroups of GG. This gives us an idea of how many representations of GG are not induced from representations of a proper subgroup.
