Algebras Generated by Finite Subgroups of Unitary Groups
摘 要: 群表示理论是研究群的最有力的工具之一,酉群是群论的重要研究分支。针对酉群的表示问题,研究了一类由酉群生成的代数结构,证明了酉群 U( d) 的任何子群 H 生成的代数是 von Neumann 代数; 证明了由有限群 G 生成的群代数 [G],对于 n 的不同值,与Ⅰn 型 von Neumann 代数的直和同构,并进一步讨论了由酉群的有限子群所生成的Ⅰ型 von Neumann 代数。研究这类酉群的子群生成的代数结构,对于建立酉群和置换群的 Schur-Weyl 对偶有重要意义。
Abstract
Group representation theory is one of the most powerful tools to study groups. The unitary group is an important research branch of group theories. We study a class of algebraic structures generated by unitary groups,and we prove that Alg( H) is a von Neumann algebra for any subgroup H of the unitary group U( d) . Then we show that group algebra [G],generated by a finite group G,is isomorphic to a direct sum of some von Neumann algebras of Type Ⅰn for distinct values of n. We further discuss what kinds of von Neumann algebra of Type Ⅰ can be generated by a finite unitary subgroup. It is of great significance to study the algebraic structure of the generation of subgroups of unitary groups for the establishment of Schur-Weyl duality of unitary groups and permutation groups.
