Minimal generation of finite solublegroups by projectors and normalizers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 1999
Abstract
In this paper G denotes a non-identity finite soluble group. If A is an irreducible G-module, EndGA is a division ring by Schur's Lemma, actually a field, since G finite forces A to be finite. Moreover A is a vector space over EndGA with respect to $\alphaa:=\alpha(a),\alpha\in\rm{End}_GA,a\inA$. We let $\varphi_G(A):=\rm{dim}_{\rm{End}_GA}A$. Any chief factor of G is an irreducible G-module via the conjugation action, and it is central precisely when it is a trivial G-module. By a refined version of the Theorem of Jordan-Hölder [1, p. 33] the number $\delta_G(A)$ of complemented chief factors of G, which are G-isomorphic to a given A, is constant for any chief series of G. We say that A is complemented, as aG-module, if $\delta_G(A)>0$.
