| Summary: | The object of the theory of Group Representation is the study of all homomorphisms of a given group into irreducible groups of matrices of finite degree with coefficients in an assigned field. An important case is that in which the prescribed field is the field of complex numbers. The theory was originated by Frobenius. His most important results were again found independently by Burnside who gave a number of important applications of the theory as well as its classical treatment. |
