For a representation of , its inflation of a group representation to is , with character . Inflation preserves irreducibility because the invariant subspaces do not change.
For irreducible complex characters , the row character orthogonality are
The column relations are for nonconjugate , and when are conjugate. Class sizes convert the row sum into its usual weighted character-table form.
