Abstract:

The complex representation theory of a finite Lie group $G$ is related to that of certain "generic algebras". As a consequence, formulae are derived ("the Comparison Theorem"), relating multiplicities in $G$ to multiplicities in the Weyl group $W$ of $G$. Applications include an explicit description of the dual (see below) of an arbitrary irreducible complex representation of $G$.
