ON EXTERIOR POWERS OF REFLECTION REPRESENTATIONS

Abstract

Abstract In 1968, Steinberg [ Endomorphisms of Linear Algebraic Groups , Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, 80 (American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1968)] proved a theorem stating that the exterior powers of an irreducible reflection representation of a Euclidean reflection group are again irreducible and pairwise nonisomorphic. We extend this result to a more general context where the inner product invariant under the group action may not necessarily exist.
