A complete set of centrally primitive idempotents $\{e_1,\ldots, e_n\}$ in $R$ furnishes a decomposition of of $R$ into directly indecomposable rings, namely the indecomposable rings $e_iRe_i$. A ring may have a complete set of centrally primitive idempotents without having a complete set of primitive idempotents. These idempotents do not connect well with ...

The action on morphisms is given by restricting a morphism to invariants. There's nothing surprising going on here. $V^G$ is representable: in fact it is represented by $k$ (the base field) with the trivial action of $G$. Hence it is not only left exact but continuous, and in fact has a left adjoint. $k$ being algebraically closed is irrelevant. Your ...

Let the value on each of the six sides of the dice be $x_1, x_2, ... , x_6$ You can create equations for each new value. So for example, the value $x_1$ will be replaced by the average of $x_2, x_3, x_4$ and $x_5$ We can say that $x_{1,n+1} = \frac 1 4 x_{2,n} + \frac 1 4 x_{3,n}+ \frac 1 4 x_{4,n}+ \frac 1 4 x_{5,n}$ You now need to write down the other ...

I don't know how to bring representation theory into the game. But anyway: Here is a solution proposal that simplifies and generalizes this problem at the same time. Write any real or complex numbers you like on the faces of the cube $[{-1},1]^3$. Denote the average of the two numbers on the opposite faces $x_i=\pm 1$ by $z_i$, whereby $i$ is taken modulo ...

All $S_n$'s have an irreducible representation of degree $n-1$: take the natural permutation representation of degree $n$, say on the permuted basis $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n$, then the subspace spanned by $v_j-v_{j-1},\ j>1$ is in fact a subrepresentation and is irreducible. You can always multiply this representation by signum and get another irreducible ...

I'm very sorry for the late reply but yes, it is true and it follows from the definition. Indeed, if $f(\cdot) = \left\langle \phi(\cdot)v, w\right\rangle$ is a matrix coefficient of $G$, and $g$ is any (continuous) function on $G$, then: $$(f\ast g)(x)$$ $$=\int_{G} f(xh^{-1})g(h) dh$$ $$=\int_{G} \left\langle \phi(xh^{-1})v,w\right\rangle g(h)dh$$ ...

The sum is just over a single element: $$\langle\mathbb I, \mathrm{Res}_{\{I\}}\chi\rangle_{\{I\}} = \frac{1}{1}\sum_{g \in \{I\}}\chi(g)\overline{\mathbb I(g)} = \chi(I)\overline{\mathbb I(I)} = \dim\chi\cdot\dim\mathbb I = \dim\chi$$ Now observe that characters form an inner product space with an orthogonal basis. That means characters are defined by ...
