The Irreducible Characters of 2 x 2 Unitary Matrix Groups Over Finite Fields

• Author / Creator

  Campbell, John J.

• In this work we will construct the table of irreducible characters for the group of unitary 2 x 2 matrices over a finite field. The table and the methods for its construction will show interesting connections to the table and methods of construction of the table of irreducible characters for the general linear group.
