Find unitary transformation between two sets of matrices that represent group generators
I have a set of matrices $A_i$ that represent the generators of a finite group within a certain basis, and $B_i$ represent the same operators in a different basis.
How can I find a unitary ...

Explicit tensor product decomposition for the representations of PSL(2,q)
$\DeclareMathOperator\PSL{PSL}$Let the type of the character theory of a finite group $G$ be the list $[[d_1,n_1], \dotsc, [d_k,n_k]]$ with $1=d_1 < \dotsb < d_k$ and $n_i$ the number of ...

Systems of imprimitivity for irreducible subgroup of GU(n,q)
My question is similar to this one but about finite field case.
So, the set up is the following:
Let $G$ be $GU_n(q)$ acting on unitary space $(V, {\bf f})$, where $V=\mathbb{F}_{q^2}^n$ and ${\bf f}...

Unitary matrices $p$-root of identity such that the Fourier transform matrices are $p$-root of identity
Take a prime number $p$ and $\omega=e^{2i\pi/p}$. Assume we have p complex matrices (in finite dimension $n$) $A_0, \dotsc, A_{p-1}$ such that $\forall i, A_i^p=I$.
Define the $p$ fourrier transform ...

Number of orthogonal operators in representations of the Unitary Group
Let $G={\rm SU}(d)$ be the unitary group and $\rho(g)$ an irreducible representation of $g\in G$ in a $D$ dimensional Hilbert space $V$. Let $e_i\in V$ be the diagonal matrix whose only non-zero ...

Representation of finite group
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$. Let $\pi$ be a natural covering from $\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}$ to $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$. Denote by $\text{Deck}(\pi)$ ...

Is anything known about the eigenspectrum of the regular representation of the permutation group?
I am looking for information like upper bounds on how many times any eigenvalue can occur or something like how many eigenvalues can be there in some given range. Is anything like this known?
The ...

Similarity about unitary matrices
Suppose $G_1, \ldots, G_k$ are unitary, Hermitian, and anti-commuting matrices, and assume the same for $F_1, \ldots, F_k$. Suppose these matrices are similar, i.e. there exists $T \in GL_n(\mathbb{C})...

Is every finite group a group of "symmetries"?
I was trying to explain finite groups to a non-mathematician, and was falling back on the "they're like symmetries of polyhedra" line. Which made me realize that I didn't know if this was actually ...
