Fixed-point subspace of a group action

ID: fixed-point-subspace-of-a-group-action

For a linear group representation, the common fixed vectors of a subgroup form an invariant subspace for any equivariant map restricted to it. Its dimension is central to symmetry-based branching theorems. It need not be invariant under the entire group; conjugate subgroups have conjugate fixed-point subspaces.
