Let G be a finite group of order g, and
be an absolutely irreducible representation of degree fμ over a field of characteristic zero. As is well known, by using Schur's lemma (1), we can prove the following orthogonality relations for the coefficients :
1
It is easy to conclude from (1) the following orthogonality relations for characters:
where
and is 1 or 0 according as t and s are conjugate in G or not, and n(t) is the order of the normalize of t.
