Commutativity of induction and inflation of representations












2












$begingroup$


Let $G$ be a finite group, $H$ a subgroup and $N$ a normal subgroup. Let $chi$ be a representation of $HN/N$. Does $$Ind_{HN}^G Inf_{HN/N}^{HN} chi = Inf_{G/N}^G Ind_{HN/N}^{G/N} chi$$ always hold? Here $Ind$ and $Inf$ are the induction and inflation functors.



If this isn't true, are there any simple sufficient conditions for it to hold (possibly with a sketch proof/reference)?

          Let $tau$ be an irreducible subrepresentation of $Ind_{HN}^GInf_{HN/N}^{HN}chi$, so by Frobenius reciprocity there's a non-zero map $tau|_{HN}rightarrow Inf_{HN/N}^{HN}chi$. So $N$ acts trivially through $tau$, meaning that we can identify $tau|_{HN}$ with a representation of $HN/N$, and doing so we get a non-zero map $tau|_{HN}rightarrowchi$. Using Frobenius reciprocity again, $tau$ is a subrepresentation of $Ind_{HN/N}^{G/N}chi$, and inflating gives a non-zero map $taurightarrow Inf_{G/N}^GInd_{HN/N}^{G/N}chi$. So every irreducible subrepresentation of the left hand side is a subrepresentation of the right hand side. That means that the only way that the two representations can't be equal is if some subrepresentations appear with different multiplicities, but since $|G/HN|=|G|/|HN|=|G||Hcap N|/|HN|=|G/N|/|H/Hcap N|=|G/N|/|HN/N|$, you can compare dimensions to conclude that the representations genuinely are equal.

            Can you elaborate on what happens with the multiplicities? If $dim tau_1 =dim tau_2$ then the dimension argument doesn't work if say $Ind Inf chi = tau_1 oplus 2 tau_2$ as it allows for $Inf Ind chi = 2tau_1 oplus tau_2$.
