In mathematics, the Steinberg representation, or Steinberg module or Steinberg character, denoted by ''St'', is a particular linear representation of a reductive algebraic group over a finite field or local field, or a group with a BN-pair. It is analogous to the 1-dimensional sign representation ε of a Coxeter or Weyl group that takes all reflections to –1. For groups over finite fields, these representations were introduced by , first for the general linear groups, then for classical groups, and then for all Chevalley groups, with a construction that immediately generalized to the other groups of Lie type that were discovered soon after by Steinberg, Suzuki and Ree. Over a finite field of characteristic ''p'', the Steinberg representation has degree equal to the largest power of ''p'' dividing the order of the group. The Steinberg representation is the Alvis–Curtis dual of the trivial 1-dimensional representation. , , and defined analogous Steinberg representations (sometimes called special representations) for algebraic groups over local fields. ==The Steinberg representation of a finite group== *The character value of ''St'' on an element ''g'' equals, up to sign, the order of a Sylow subgroup of the centralizer of ''g'' if ''g'' has order prime to ''p'', and is zero if the order of ''g'' is divisible by ''p''. *The Steinberg representation is equal to an alternating sum over all parabolic subgroups containing a Borel subgroup, of the representation induced from the identity representation of the parabolic subgroup. *The Steinberg representation is both regular and unipotent, and is the only irreducible regular unipotent representation (for the given prime ''p''). *The Steinberg representation is used in the proof of Haboush's theorem (the Mumford conjecture). Most finite simple groups have exactly one Steinberg representation. A few have more than one because they are groups of Lie type in more than one way. For symmetric groups (and other Coxeter groups) the sign representation is analogous to the Steinberg representation. Some of the sporadic simple groups act as doubly transitive permutation groups so have a BN-pair for which one can define a Steinberg representation, but for most of the sporadic groups there is no known analogue of it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steinberg representation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
