Various Representation Dimensions associated with a Finite Group (2406.13279v1)

Abstract: To a finite group $G$, one can associate several notions of dimensions (or degrees). In this survey, we attempt to bring together some of the notions of dimensions or degrees defined using representations of the group in General Linear Groups and permutation groups. These are embedding degree, minimal faithful irreducible character degree, minimal faithful permutation representation degree, minimal faithful quasi-permutation representation degree and essential dimension. We briefly present the progress in understanding these notions and the related problems.
