Let K be a field, G a finite group, V a (right) KG-module. If H is a subgroup of G, then, restricting the action of G on V to H, V is also a KH-module. Notation: VH.

Suppose N is a normal subgroup of G. The KN-module VN is not irreducible in general, even when V is irreducible as KG-module. A part of the well-known theorem of A. H. Clifford [1, V.17.3] yields the following.
