Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \\'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of $Q$. Furthermore, we prove a generalization of the orthogonality relation between characters of $G$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-23T20:37:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite group", "conjugacy classes", "characters", "duality theorems", "etale gerbes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study", "journal": "Ann.
