Problem 1. Letπ:G→GL(V) be a unitary representation of the groupGon a finite dimensional complex vector spaceV. Prove that for allg, the eigenvalues of the linear automorphismπ(g) :V →V have absolute value 1.
Problem 2. LetG={1, ζ, ζ2}be a cyclic group of order 3, and letπ:G→GL2(R) be the representation ofGonR2 defined by
π(ζ) =
0 −1
1 −1
.
Find an inner product onR2 that is invariant with respect toπin the sense that hπ(g)(x), π(g)(y)i=hx, yi
for allg∈Gandx, y∈R2.
