Schur's Lemma is a fundamental result in representation theory, stating that if a representation of a group has an irreducible subrepresentation, then any intertwiners (linear maps) between these representations are either zero or isomorphisms. This lemma plays a crucial role in understanding how representations decompose and how they relate to the structure of the underlying algebraic objects, particularly in the context of quantum groups.
congrats on reading the definition of Schur's Lemma. now let's actually learn it.
