Frobenius kernel theorem

ID: frobenius-kernel-theorem

For a Frobenius complement , a class function with satisfies . For each nontrivial of degree , the virtual character has norm one and positive degree by Frobenius reciprocity. It is therefore irreducible, restricts to and is identically on the candidate kernel . The intersection of the kernels of these characters is exactly : outside , separation follows from the character of the regular representation of . This proves normality; and then give the semidirect product.
