The Representations of GL(3,q), GL(4,q), PGL(3,q), and PGL(4,q)

Abstract

This paper is a result of an investigation into general methods of determining the irreducible characters of GL(n, q), the group of all non-singular linear substitutions with marks in GF(q), and of the related groups, SL(n, q), PGL(n, q), PSL(n, q), the corresponding group of determinant unity, projective group, projective group of determinant unity, respectively.
