Clifford theory for glider representations

Abstract

Classical Clifford theory studies the decomposition of simple GG-modules into simple HH-modules for some normal subgroup HGH \triangleleft G. In this paper we deal with chains of normal subgroups 1G1Gd=G1 \triangleleft G_1 \triangleleft \cdots \triangleleft G_d =G, which allow to consider fragments and in particular glider representations. These are given by a descending chain of vector spaces over some field KK and relate different representations of the groups appearing in the chain. Picking some normal subgroup HGH \triangleleft G one obtains a normal subchain and one can construct an induced fragment structure. Moreover, a notion of irreducibility of fragments is introduced, which completes the list of ingredients to perform a Clifford theory.
