The complex regular representation has basis and left action
If is the identity, then
so . Thus is a faithful representation.
By Maschke's theorem, the regular representation decomposes as a direct sum of irreducibles,
Its kernel is the intersection of the kernels of the constituent representations:
Each constituent kernel is a normal subgroup of . If is simple, every such kernel is either or . They cannot all be , because then their intersection would be , contradicting faithfulness of the regular representation. Hence some has trivial kernel. Therefore every finite simple group has a faithful irreducible representation of a finite simple group.
A representation is completely reducible, or semisimple, when it is a direct sum of irreducible representation. Equivalently, every invariant subspace has an invariant complement.
Maschke's theorem says that every finite-dimensional representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic zero is completely reducible. More generally, it is enough that the field characteristic does not divide .
Schur lemma states the following.
Indeed, and are invariant subspaces. If , irreducibility forces
so is an isomorphism. For an endomorphism of a finite-dimensional complex representation, choose an eigenvalue of . The intertwiner has nonzero kernel, so the first part forces
This proves the Proof of Schur lemma.
Now let be faithful and irreducible over . For every , the operator commutes with every . Schur's lemma therefore gives
for some . Faithfulness makes an embedding
Since every finite subgroup of the multiplicative complex numbers is cyclic,
This is the cyclic-center obstruction to a faithful irreducible representation.
The seventh cyclotomic polynomial is
It is irreducible over , and all its roots , , lie in . Hence is a degree-six Finite Galois extension, with
The group is cyclic of order six; for example,
By the Galois correspondence, the subfields are the fixed fields of the four subgroups of :
Thus these are all the subfields.
For the Quadratic Gaussian period in the seventh cyclotomic field, put
The cyclotomic relation gives , while direct multiplication gives . Hence
Its discriminant is , so
For the real cubic subfield of the seventh cyclotomic field, divide
by . With ,
so
This cubic has no rational root, and therefore
The requested primitive elements, minimal polynomials, and automorphism groups are consequently
More explicitly, the nontrivial automorphism of sends
and the three automorphisms of cyclically permute
Finally, is abelian, so every subgroup is normal. The subextensions of an abelian Galois extension theorem shows that
A field extension is a splitting field for when splits into linear factors over and is generated over by the roots of . Equivalently, it is the smallest extension inside an algebraic closure over which splits.
To prove existence, choose an irreducible factor of , adjoin one of its roots, and factor over the resulting finite extension. If a nonlinear factor remains, adjoin one of its roots and repeat. Each step lowers the total degree of the unsplit factors, so after finitely many finite extensions the polynomial splits. The field generated by the roots obtained is therefore a splitting field.
The precise uniqueness theorem says that if and are splitting fields of the same polynomial over , then there is a field embedding isomorphism
whose restriction to is the identity. More generally, an isomorphism of base fields carrying one polynomial to another extends to an isomorphism of their splitting fields. Thus splitting fields are unique up to base-field isomorphism; inside a fixed algebraic closure, the field generated by all the roots is literally unique. These facts are summarized by existence and uniqueness of splitting fields.
Let
The roots of are , so
is the splitting field of x cubed minus two. As a subfield of it is unique, because any splitting field in must contain all three roots and hence must contain both and
minimality then forces it to equal .
Partition the vertex set into disjoint sets and of sizes and . The induced subgraph on has distribution
For ,
so part (b) shows that contains a triangle with probability tending to one.
On that event, choose a triangle using only the edges internal to . The edges from its three vertices to remain independent of this choice. The probability that all such edges are absent is
because . Thus, with probability tending to one, some vertex of is adjacent to a vertex of the triangle. Those four vertices and the four required edges form the given graph , a triangle with an attached leaf in a binomial random graph. Therefore
Chebyshev inequality states that, for a random variable of finite variance and any ,
Let count triangles, where ranges over the three-element vertex sets and is the corresponding indicator random variable. Then
Two distinct triangle indicators are independent unless their triangles share an edge. There are
unordered pairs sharing an edge, and each covariance is
Therefore
It follows that
when . Chebyshev's inequality now gives
Hence
as summarized by the triangle count in a binomial random graph.
The binomial random graph has vertex set , and each unordered pair of distinct vertices is included as an edge independently with probability .
Let count copies of the complete graph . Each -element vertex set forms a copy with probability , so linearity of expectation gives
The event is . By the first moment method,
This is the clique count in a binomial random graph.
If some were inconsistent, it would prove every formula by the classical principle of explosion. Because is a deductively closed set of formulae, it would then contain every formula and could have no proper extension. This contradicts . Thus every is consistent.
Let
If were inconsistent, the finite character of formal proofs would give a finite inconsistent subset . The chain is increasing, so all finitely many members of lie in some common . Then would be inconsistent, a contradiction. Hence is consistent.
If , a proof again uses only finitely many assumptions from , all lying in some . Thus
Since is deductively closed, . Therefore is deductively closed.
Finally, suppose that were finitary. Part (b) would provide a finite such that . Choose with . Then ; since is deductively closed, this implies . But
a contradiction. Consequently is not finitary, proving the increasing union of deductively closed sets.
Suppose the finitary set of formulae is equivalent to the finite set
For each , the relation has a finite proof, so it uses a finite set of assumptions. Put
This is a finite subset of , and for every , hence . Since equivalence also gives , transitivity of deduction yields
A set is a deductively closed set of formulae when every consequence of already belongs to it:
It is a consistent set of formulae when it does not prove a contradiction,
If is inconsistent, there is a formal derivation of from assumptions in . By the finite character of formal proofs, that derivation mentions only finitely many assumptions . Hence
so this finite subset of is already inconsistent.
In the far past, , the term is negligible and the rescaled mode is a quantum harmonic oscillator of angular frequency . The stated choice of its ground state is the Bunch-Davies vacuum.
At late times, after the mode is far outside the Hubble scale, . Its variance becomes
Since has dimensions of length cubed, the dimensionless power is proportional to . More precisely, with the standard isotropic Fourier convention,
which is independent of the wavenumber . Thus equal logarithmic intervals in carry equal late-time power. This is the sense in which inflation naturally generates a scale-invariant inflationary power spectrum.
Conformal time is defined by
For , choose as . Integration gives
as recorded by Conformal time during de Sitter expansion.
Writing a prime for , the relations
turn the Fourier-mode equation into
Set
A direct substitution gives
Here , so the Canonically rescaled de Sitter scalar mode obeys
When is approximately constant, , and exponential expansion gives the constant Hubble parameter . Take the spatial Fourier transform
Since
each independent inflationary scalar Fourier mode satisfies
Write the action density as
Under a compactly supported variation ,
Integrating the first term by parts in time and the second in space, and discarding the boundary terms, gives
The principle of stationary action requires this to vanish for every . Since
division by yields the field Euler-Lagrange equation
This is the equation generated by the inflaton action in an expanding universe.
If , the same upper-half-plane contour calculation gives
If , the pole lies below the real integration contour. Closing upward encloses no pole, so Jordan lemma and the Cauchy integral theorem give
Hence at a real point the upper and lower boundary values satisfy
Thus crossing from the upper half-plane to the lower half-plane produces the negative of this jump.
An analytic continuation must be holomorphic, hence continuous, across every point where it is defined. The undeformed real-axis formula for has the nonzero jump above, while the continuation constructed in part (c) retains below the axis. Therefore cannot be the analytic continuation of .
For , close the -contour in the upper half-plane. Jordan lemma removes the large semicircle, and the only enclosed pole is the order- pole at . By the residue at a pole of order n,
The residue theorem therefore gives
To continue the integral itself, move the -contour downward locally as approaches and crosses the real axis, always keeping the pole above the contour. This analytic continuation by contour deformation defines
where passes below . Closing upward continues to enclose the pole, even when , so
there as well. The right-hand side is an entire function, so it is the unique analytic continuation of to the whole complex plane.
An analytic continuation of from to is a holomorphic function on whose restriction to the nonempty overlap agrees with .
Suppose and are two such continuations. Both equal on , so
on that nonempty open set. Since is connected, the identity theorem gives
Thus analytic continuation to is unique.
The identity theorem states that if two holomorphic functions on a connected open set agree on a subset having an accumulation point in , then they agree throughout . In particular, agreement on any nonempty open subset is sufficient.
