In representation theory of finite groups, there is a well known Mackey irreducibility test for irreducibility of an induced representation to be irreducible (Serre- Linear Representations of Finite Groups - #7.4). The author has stated it for field $\mathbb{C}$. Is it true for representations over arbitrary field whose characteristic is zero or co-prime to the order of group ?
