Generalized characters for glider representations of groups

Group Theory 2018-12-03 v3

Abstract

Glider representations can be defined for a finite algebra filtration FKG determined by a chain of subgroups 1 < G_1 < ... < G_d = G. In this paper we develop the generalized character theory for such glider representations. We give the generalization of Artin's theorem and define a generalized inproduct. For finite abelian groups G with chain 1 < G, we explicitly calculate the generalized character ring and compute its semisimple quotient. The papers ends with a discussion of the quaternion group as a first non-abelian example.
