rt.representation theory - Embedding into Permutation Representation

There is the following adjointness (a form of Frobenius reciprocity):



HomG(rho,FX)=HomH(rho,trivial).HomG(rho,FX)=HomH(rho,trivial).



Thus rhorho embeds in FXFX if and only if rhorho admits a non-trivial HH-fixed quotient.



(If HH is finite and FF has characteristic zero, or at least prime to the order
of HH, so that rhorho is semi-simple
as an HH-representation, then this is equivalent to requiring that rhorho have a
non-trivial HH-fixed subrepresentation.)



(Note also that a non-zero GG-equivariant map out of rhorho is automatically injective,
because rhorho is irreducible.)
