Representations induced from a normal subgroup of prime index

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group, HH be a normal subgroup of prime index pp. Let FF be a field of either characteristic 00 or prime to G|G|. Let η\eta be an irreducible FF-representation of HH. If FF is an algebraically closed field of characteristic either 00 or prime to G|G|, then the induced representation ηHG\eta \uparrow^{G}_{H} is either irreducible or a direct sum of pp pairwise inequivalent irreducible representations. In this paper, we show that if FF is not assumed algebraically closed field, then there are five possibilities in the decomposition of induced representation into irreducible representations.
