Character of a Representation

122 Views Asked by At

Suppose that we have a representation $V$ of a group $G= SU(2)$ .

Is it true that if $ \chi_V \cdot c \neq 0$ for some non-zero constant c, then the trivial representation must be one of the representations in the decomposition of $V$ into irreducible representations.

Is it safe to say that the only representation with constant character is the trivial one?
