By an F -semi-linear G-representation we mean an F -space V with a (k-linear) G-action such that (a v) = a v for any 2 G, v 2 V and a 2 F . This is the same as a module over the algebra F hGi := F ZZ[G] with evident action of F and the diagonal action of G. If G acts on F faithfully, then F hGi is a central k-algebra. Semi-linear G-representations nite-dimensional over F form an abelian tensor ...
