dimension of the morphisme of two characters












0












$begingroup$


I am new to character theory and I have the following question.



In the dual group of a groupe $G$ we can define an inner product. This inner product is equal to :



$$dim Hom_G(a,b) $$



The problem is that I don’t understand what it means. I know that the dimension of a representation $p : G to GL(V)$ is equal to $dim(V)$. So here in the dual group very element has dimension $1$ (since $V = mathbb{C}^*$).



Yet, here what does it mean to take the dimension of a morphisme between two representations ?



Thanks you !

    Do you know the projections formulas (also there) ? $fin Hom_G(a,b)$ is "project $a$ on one of its subrepresentation then embed as a subrepresentation of $b$".

    $operatorname{dim}operatorname{Hom}_{G}(a,b)$ is the vector space dimension of the $mathbb{C}$ vector space of linear maps from the representation $a$ to the representation $b$ that respect the action of $G$. A linear map between two representations is a map of the modules given by the representations.
