A Finite Group

In [6], Wong defined a quasi-permutation group of degree n to be a finite group G of automorphisms of an n-dimensional complex vector space such that every element of G has non-negative integral trace. The terminology derives from the fact that if G is a finite group of permutations of a set ω of size n, and we think of G as acting on the complex vector space with basis ω, then the trace of an element g ∈ G is equal to the number of points of ω fixed by g. In [6] and [7], Wong studied the extent to which some facts about permutation groups generalize to the quasi-permutation group situation. Here we investigate further the analogy between permutation groups and quasipermutation groups by studying the relation between the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of a given finite group G and the minimal degree of a faithful quasi-permutation representation. We shall often prefer to work over the rational field rather than the complex field.

Finite Linear

If G is a finite linear group of degree n, that is, a finite group of automorphisms of an n-dimensional complex vector space (or, equivalently, a finite group of non-singular matrices of order n with complex coefficients), I shall say that G is a quasi-permutation group if the trace of every element of G is a non-negative rational integer. The reason for this terminology is that, if G is a permutation group of degree n, its elements, considered as acting on the elements of a basis of an n-dimensional complex vector space V, induce automorphisms of V forming a group isomorphic to G. The trace of the automorphism corresponding to an element x of G is equal to the number of letters left fixed by x, and so is a non-negative integer. Thus, a permutation group of degree n has a representation as a quasi-permutation group of degree n.

Finite Linear

Let G be a finite linear group of degree n; that is, a finite group of automorphisms of an n-dimensional complex vector space (or, equivalently, a finite group of non-singular matrices of order n with complex coefficients). We shall say that G is a quasi-permutation group if the trace of every element of G is a non-negative rational integer. The reason for this terminology is that, if G is a permutation group of degree n, its elements, considered as acting on the elements of a basis of an n -dimensional complex vector space V, induce automorphisms of V forming a group isomorphic to G. The trace of the automorphism corresponding to an element x of G is equal to the number of letters left fixed by x, and so is a non-negative integer. Thus, a permutation group of degree n has a representation as a quasi-permutation group of degree n. See [5].

A Finite Group

Let ℭ be a finite group with a representation as an irreducible group of linear transformations on a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Every choice of a basis for the space gives the representing transformations the form of a particular group of matrices. If for some choice of a basis the resulting group of matrices has entries which all lie in a subfield K of the complex field, we say that the representation can be realized in K. It is well known that every representation of ℭ can be realized in some algebraic number field, a finitedimensional extension of the rational field Q.

Invariant Vector Fields

AbstractLet G be a finite group generated by (pseudo-) reflections in a complex vector space and let g be any linear transformation which normalises G. In an earlier paper, the authors showed how to associate with any maximal eigenspace of an element of the coset gG, a subquotient of G which acts as a reflection group on the eigenspace. In this work, we address the questions of irreducibility and the coexponents of this subquotient, as well as centralisers in G of certain elements of the coset. A criterion is also given in terms of the invariant degrees of G for an integer to be regular for G. A key tool is the investigation of extensions of invariant vector fields on the eigenspace, which leads to some results and questions concerning the geometry of intersections of invariant hypersurfaces.

Finite Dimensional

A formula is derived for the dimension of a symmetry class of tensors (over a finite dimensional complex vector space) associated with an arbitrary finite permutation group G and a linear character of x of G. This generalizes a result of the first author [3] which solved the problem in case G is a cyclic group.

Rational Integral

A quasi-permutation group of degree n was defined in [3] to be a finite group with a faithful representation of degree n whose character has only non-negative rational integral values. If G is such a group, then the following simple properties of permutation groups of degree n were proved to hold also for G:(i) the order of G is a divisor of the order of the symmetric group Sn of degree n; and (ii) if G is a p-group and n < p2, then G has exponent at most p and derived length at most 1 (i.e. G is elementary Abelian).

Identity Elements

Let G be a finite group and A a group of automorphisms of G. Clearly A acts as a permutation group on G#, the set of non-identity elements of G. We assume that this permutation representation is half transitive, that is all the orbits have the same size. A special case of this occurs when A acts fixed point free on G. In this paper we study the remaining or non-fixed point free cases. We show first that G must be an elementary abelian g-group for some prime q and that A acts irreducibly on G. Then we classify all such occurrences in which A is a p-group.

We give here concrete formulas relating the transition generatrix functions of any random walk on a finite group to the irreducible representations of this group. Some examples of such explicit calculations for the permutation groups A4, S4, and A5 are included.
