Monomial

representation

In the mathematical fields of

representation theory and group theory, a
linear representation ρ (rho) of a group G
is a monomial representation if there is a
finite-index subgroup H and a one-
dimensional linear representation σ of H,
such that ρ is equivalent to the induced
representation IndHGσ.
Alternatively, one may define it as a
representation whose image is in the
monomial matrices.

Here for example G and H may be finite

groups, so that induced representation has
a classical sense. The monomial
representation is only a little more
complicated than the permutation
representation of G on the cosets of H. It
is necessary only to keep track of scalars
coming from σ applied to elements of H.

Definition
To define the monomial representation, we
first need to introduce the notion of
monomial space. A monomial space is a
triple where is a finite-
dimensional complex vector space, is a
finite set and is a family of one-
dimensional subspaces of such that
.

Now Let be a group, the monomial

representation of on is a group
homomorphism such
that for every element ,
permutes the 's, this means that
induces an action by permutation of on
.
