Irreducible representations of a finite group over different algebraically closed fields.

39 Views Asked by At

It's an exercise from "Advanced Modern Algebra" Rotman. Exercise 8.44 on page 574.

The problem is, prove that the degrees of the irreducible representations of $G$ over $K_1$ are the same degrees of the irreducible representations of $G$ over $K_2$, where $G$ is a finite group, and $K_1$ and $K_2$ are algebraically closed fields, characteristics char$K_1$=$p$ and Char$K_2$=q do not divide $\lvert G\rvert$.

I have known that $K_iG$ is semisimple from Maschke's Theorem, and that the number of simple components are the same (equal to the number of conjugacy classes of $G$). But I don't know how it can be proved that the decompositions are actually equivalent.

Thank you for helping!
