State and prove Maschke's Theorem for complex representations of finite groups.
Without using character theory, show that every irreducible complex representation of the dihedral group of order , has dimension at most two. List the irreducible complex representations of up to isomorphism.
Let be the set of vertices of a regular pentagon with the usual action of . Explicitly decompose the permutation representation into a direct sum of irreducible subrepresentations.
