Induction of the planar square representation to the symmetric group on four letters (${\mathrm{Ind}}_{D_8}^{S_4}W\cong C\oplus (C\otimes \mathrm{sgn})$)

Embed the order-eight dihedral group as $H=⟨(1234),(12)(34)⟩$ in the symmetric group $S_4$, and let $W$ be its two-dimensional complex representation obtained from its square action. Let $C$ be the three-dimensional complex representation from the rotational symmetry group of a cube. In the class order $1,(12),(12)(34),(123),(1234)$, the induced character is $(6,0,-2,0,0)$: only the identity and the square's half-turn have nonzero character values. This equals the character of $C\otimes (1\oplus \mathrm{sgn})$, since ${\chi }_C=(3,-1,-1,0,1)$. Characters distinguish finite-dimensional complex semisimple representations, giving the displayed isomorphism. Its trivial character multiplicity is $(6-6)/24=0$.
