Irreducible representations of crossed products of the Cuntz algebras and isotropy subgroups of the unitary group
For an element x of the Cuntz algebra ON , define the isotropy subgroup Gx ≡ {g ∈ U(N) : αg(x) = x} of the unitary group U(N) with respect to the canonical action α of U(N) on ON . We have irreducible representations of the crossed product ONoGx by extending irreducible generalized permutative representations of ON and irreducible representation of Gx. ¿From this, the Peter-Weyl theorem for Gx ...
متن کاملThe Unitary Representations of the Generalized Lorentz Groups
For n > 2, let G(n) denote the two-fold covering group of SO.(l,n). Incase n > 3, G(n) is isomorphic to Spin(l, n) and is simply connected. In a previous paper we determined all the irreducible quasi-simple representations of these groups, up to infinitesimal equivalence. The main purpose of the present paper is to determine which of these representations are unitarizable. Thus, with the aid of...
متن کاملIrreducible Representations of the Symmetric Group
We construct the Specht modules and prove that they completely characterize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. We will prove certain properties of these representations using combinatorial tools (such as calculating the dimension using Hook’s length formula). Only an introductory knowledge of group theory and linear algebra will be assumed and representation theory concepts...
متن کاملUnitary Representations of the Inhomogeneous Lorentz Group and Their Significance in Quantum Physics *
In honor of Minkowski’s great contribution to Special Relativity, celebrated at this conference, we first review Wigner’s theory of the projective irreducible representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. We also sketch those parts of Mackey’s mathematical theory on induced representations which are particularly useful for physicists. As an important application of the Wigner-Mackey theor...
متن کاملIrreducible Representations of the Symmetric Group
The intent of this paper is to give the reader, in a general sense, how to go about finding irreducible representations of the Symmetric Group Sn. While I would like to be thorough toward this end, I fear we must assume some results from Wedderburn Theory that will be given without proof because although they are important, proving and discussing these results is not in the scope of this paper....
