There he classifies the irreducible subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_{11}(\mathbb{C})$. It's quite the feat considering it's pre-classification of finite simple groups. homepages.abdn.ac.uk/d.j.benson/papers/r/robinson/thesis.dvi | |

| Nov 22, 2017 at 0:39 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | For $GL_n$ you're just asking about groups with an $n$-dimensional irrep, for $O_n$ and $SP_n$ you're asking for an $n$-dimensional irrep with FS-indicator $\pm 1$ (respectively). That's clearly too broad a question to hope to say much. You might be interested in Jordan's Theorem or this paper. | |
