Mackey's Formula is a result in representation theory that relates the characters of representations of a group to those of its subgroups. It provides a way to compute the character of an irreducible representation of a group in terms of the characters of its subgroup representations and their respective actions. This concept is crucial for understanding how representations behave under induction and restriction, as well as in applications of Frobenius reciprocity and finite group theory.
