McKay graph

Spectrum of a McKay graph

Let be a -module affording character and be its McKay graph with adjacency matrix . Then the eigenvectors of are the columns of the character table for , and the eigenvalues are the corresponding values of . rep2

Proof

Let be the character afforded by . For each , we have

and thus for any ,

which gives linearly independent eigenvectors and is thus complete.
