Schur's Representation Lemma


Schur's representation lemma states that if pi on V and pi^' on V^' are irreducible representations of a group G and E:V->V^' is a linear map such that pi^'(g)E=Epi(g) for all g in G, then E=0 or E is invertible. Furthermore, if pi=pi^' and V=V^' is a finite-dimensional vector space over the complex numbers, then E is a scalar multiple of the identity map.
