Abstract

In this article, we find the cyclic decomposition of the finite abelian factor group AC(G)=\bar{R}(G)/T(G), where G=Q_{2m} and m is an even number and Q_{2m} is the quaternion group of order 4m. (The group of all Z-valued generalized characters of G over the group of induced unit characters from all cyclic subgroups of G). We find that the cyclic decomposition AC(Q_{2m}) depends on the elementary divisor of m. We have found that if m= p_{1}^{r_1} \cdot p_{2}^{r_2} \cdots p_{n}^{r_n} \cdot 2^h, p_i are distinct primes, then: AC(Q_{2m})=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{(r_1+1)(r_2+1)\cdots(r_n+n)(h+2)-1}C_2. Moreover, we have also found the general form of Artin characters table Ar(Q_{2m}) when m is an even number.

Highlights

  • Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebra structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces

  • For a finite group G, the factor group R (G) T (G) is called the Artin cokernel of G denoted AC(G), R (G) denotes the abelian group generated by Z-valued characters of G under the operation of pointwise addition, T (G) is a subgroup of R (G) which is generated by Artin characters

  • A well-known theorem which is due to Artin asserted that T (G) has a finite index in R (G), i.e., [R(G) : T (G)] is finite so AC(G) is a finite abelian group

Summary

Introduction

Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebra structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces. We have found the general form of Artin characters table Ar(Q2m ) when m is an even number. In 1968, Lam [10] proved a sharp form of Artin theorem and he determined the least positive integer A(G) such that [R(G) : T (G)] = A(G).
