Let kk be a finite field with 5 elements and G=SL(2,k)G =\mathbf{S}\mathbf{L}(2, k).

a) The conjugacy classes of the group G are represented by e,−ee,-e and the seven elements

(11)(12)(−11)(−12) (1 1)(1 2)(-1 1)(-1 2)
g3=,g4=,g5=,g6= g_3=,g_4=,g_5=,g_6=

0 1 0 1 0 −1-1 0 −1-1

(20)(01)(01) (2 0)(0 1)(01)
g7=,g8=,g9= g_7=,g_8=,g_9=
0−2−11−1−1 0-2-1 1-1-1

Determine the cardinal of each conjugacy class.

b) Let α=12(1+\alpha =\frac{1}{2}(1 + 5). There exists a faithful irreducible unitary representation π\pi of dimension 2 of G whose character χ\chi satisfies χ(−e)=−2\chi (-e) =-2 and

χ(g4)=α,χ(g6)=−α,χ(g3)=−α−1,χ(g5)=α+1 \chi (g_4) =\alpha ,\chi (g_6) =-\alpha ,\chi (g_3) =-\alpha -1,\chi (g_5) =\alpha + 1
χ(g7)=0,χ(g8)=1,χ(g9)=−1 \chi (g_7) = 0,\chi (g_8) = 1,\chi (g_9) =-1

(One may consider the restriction to G of the irreducible representations of dimension 4 of GL(2,k)\mathbf{G}\mathbf{L}(2, k), cf. A, VIII, p. 422, exercise 27.)

c) One has M4(π)=2M_4(\pi ) = 2.
