Description

This book provides an introduction to representations of both finiteand compact groups. The proofs of the basic results are given for thefinite case, but are so phrased as to hold without change for compacttopological groups with an invariant integral replacing the sum overthe group elements as an averaging tool. Among the topics covered arethe relation between representations and characters, the constructionof irreducible representations, induced representations and Frobeniusreciprocity. Special emphasis is given to exterior powers, with thesymmetric group Sn as an illustrative example.
