Subgroups that conjugate-cover the ambient group

Let $G$ be a finite group, and suppose that a set of proper subgroups $H_1,\dotsc,H_n$ satisfy $G=\bigcup_{g\in G}\bigcup_{i=1}^nH_i^g$, where $H_i^g$ is the conjugate of $H_i$ by $g$. In this case, ...

Why are smooth irreducible representations of the Weil group finite dimensional?

I am trying to understand the proof in Bushnell and Henniart - The local Langlands conjecture for $\operatorname{GL}_2$ of the fact (§28.6, Lemma 1) that smooth irreducible representations of the Weil ...

Semisimplicity of induced representation of a irreducible representation

This question occurs when I read this one. Suppose $k$ is a field of char $0$ (not necessarily complex numbers, in my case it's $\mathbb Q_p$), and $G$ is a profinite group (in my case, $\operatorname{...

Trying to understand the topology of the Weil group for the local Langlands conjecture

I am trying to study the representation of the Weil group from the book "The Local Langlands Conjecture for $GL(2)$". I have some problem with the topology of this group. Let $F$ be a non ...

Distinct characters with the same character values, outer automorphisms and Galois conjugation

Given an (irreducible complex) character of a finite group the following three construction all yield another irreducible character of the same degree: multiplying by a degree 1 character applying an ...

Irreducible components of a cyclic extension over $ \mathbb{Q} $

$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}\DeclareMathOperator\Gal{Gal}$Let $ L $ be a cyclic Galois extension of $ \mathbb{Q} $ of degree $ 6 $. So $ G = \Gal(L/\mathbb{Q}) $ is a cyclic group of order $ 6 $. Then ...

Characteristic polynomials of Cartan matrices of Lie algebras

Let $L$ be a simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ with Cartan matrix $C_L$ (as in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartan-Matrix ) Question 1: Is is true that the characteristic polynomial $f$ of $C_L$ ...

Fontaine - Wintenberger field of norms and imperfect case

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field whose residue field $k_K$ has characteristic $p$ and has the property that $[k_K:k_K^p]=p^d$ for some $d$. Let $t_{\alpha}, 1 \leq \alpha \leq d$ be a set ...

Weyl theorem for non specified primitive root of unity

Let $\omega=e^{2i \pi/p}$. Weyl theorems give all representations of matrix algebra span by $A,B$ such that either $AB=\omega BA, A^p=B^p=I$, or $(k,l)\mapsto A^kB^l$ is a irreducible ...

Galois descent for profinite groups acting on local fields

Suppose that $G$ is a profinite group acting faithfully on a field $L$ and assume moreover that the action is admissible, that is, that every $l \in L$ is stabilized by an open subgroup of $G$. If ...

Local polynomials of Frobenius-semisimple Weil representations which are tensor products of an Artin representation and an unramified character

Let $K$ be a local field and $\rho: W_K \to \operatorname{GL}(V)$ be a Weil representation. The for any finite extension $F/K$, we define the local polynomial $$ P(\rho|_F,T) = \det{(1 - \operatorname{...

Splitting the Resultant, as when the Determinant becomes the square of the Pfaffian

The Determinant of an $n\times n$ matrix, viewed as a polynomial in the entries, is irreducible. But when it is restricted to the subspace of alternate matrices, it becomes reducible, actually the ...

Artin representations in Serre's book 'local fields'

Let $K$ be a complete local field with discrete valuation, and let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension. Use $G=Gal(L/K)$ to denote the Galois group. In Serre's book 'local fields', chapter 6, a ...

Noether-Deuring for injections and surjections?

Noether-Deuring theorem (not in the strongest form, but in the one I usually need): Let $L\diagup K$ be a field extension. Let $A$ be a $K$-algebra which is finite-dimensional as a vector space over $...

Galois theory of endomorphism rings of irreducible representations

Let $k$ be a field which I don't suppose to be algebraically closed. Then, the endomorphism ring of any irreducible representation of a finite group over $k$ is a division ring. What is known about ...

sheaves of representations on galois groups, can there be interesting cohomology?

Consider a field $K$ (of characteristic 0, say) and its absolute galois group $G_K^{ab} = Gal(\overline{K}/K)$, given the Krull topology: $U_E(\sigma) = \sigma Gal(\overline{K}/E)$ form a basis of the ...
