Abstract

By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field ℂ with non-negative integral trace. Thus every permutation matrix over ℂ is a quasi-permutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q (G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the rational field ℚ, and let c(G) be the minimal degree of a faithful representation of G by complex quasi-permutation matrices. In this paper we will calculate c(G), q(G), and p(G), where G is a metacyclic p-group with non-cyclic center and p is either 2 or an odd prime number.
