induced representation
Let be a group, a subgroup, and a representation of , considered as a –module. The induced representation of on , denoted , is the –module whose underlying vector space is the direct sum
of formal translates of by left cosets in , and whose multiplication operation is defined by choosing a set of coset representatives and setting
where is the unique left coset of containing (i.e., such that for some ).
One easily verifies that the representation is independent of the choice of coset representatives .
