Non-trivial representation of second-smallest dimension

The irreducible complex representations of the simply connected simple group $G=Sp_{r,{\mathbb C}}$ of type $C_r$, for $r>1$, of dimension $n<{\rm dim}\ G$ are listed in the paper of Andreev, Vinberg …

Indecomposable integral representations of a group of order 2 "by hand"

This question is a duplicate of that 2010 MO question. I am interested in classifying isomorphism classes of $n$-dimensional integral representations of the cyclic group $C_2$ of order $2$. Clearly, a …

A small rank linear combination of a small number of elements of a group

This is a version of this question of Klim Efremenko. Let $r>2$ be a natural number, say $r=3$ or $r=10$. Let $G$ be a finite group and $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $G$. We con …

Does $SU(N)$ have pseudo-real representation?

Let $G$ be a compact (anisotropic) real algebraic group. Let $\rho\colon G\to {\rm GL}(n,{\mathbb{C}})$ be a complex linear (polynomial) representation of $G$. Following OP, we say that $\rho$ is pse …

Involutive automorphisms of a finite abelian p-group

First, let $A$ be a finitely generated free abelian group, and $s$ an automorphism of order $2$ of $A$. Set $G=\{1,s\}$. Then we know that $A$ is a sum of indecomposable $G$-lattices $A_i$, where eac …

Diagonalisation of invariant hermitian forms and irreducible representations of tori actions

We need some notation. I write $V$ for your $\Bbb C^{2nN}$, $T$ for your $T^n$, and $\rho\colon T\to GL(V)$ for the representation of $T$ in $V$. I define the character $\chi_j$ of $T$ by $$\chi_j( …
