Our aim is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite nilpotent group to have a faithful irreducible projective representation over a field of characteristic p ≥ 0.

On Kolchin's theorem.

Israel N. Herstein (1986)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Similarity:

A well-known theorem due to Kolchin states that a semi-group G of unipotent matrices over a field F can be brought to a triangular form over the field F [4, Theorem H]. Recall that a matrix A is called unipotent if its only eigenvalue is 1, or, equivalently, if the matrix I - A is nilpotent. Many years ago I noticed that this result of Kolchin is an immediate consequence of a too-little known result due to Wedderburn [6]. This result of Wedderburn asserts that if B is a finite...
