A108755 Number of finite simple groups possessing an irreducible representation of dimension n. 0
0, 2, 1, 4, 4, 6, 4, 5, 7, 6, 5, 8, 8, 7, 6, 3, 4, 2, 6, 10, 6, 5, 4, 3, 7, 7, 8, 2, 6 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

2,2

COMMENTS

The sequence starts at 2 because all finite simple groups have an irreducible representation of dimension 1 (namely the trivial representation).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because A_5 and L2(7) are the only finite simple groups to have irreducible representations of dimension 3.

PROG

(GAP) Simple := AllCharacterTableNames(IsSimple, true); list := List([1..16], x->0); for G in Simple do k := List(Irr(CharacterTable(G)), x->x[1]); for i in [1..16] do if i in k then list[i] := list[i] + 1; fi; od; od; # Note that we stop at 16 because currently GAP does not have the character table of A18 (which has a 17-dimensional representation)
