Abstract
Explicit Brauer Induction is a canonical form for Brauer’s induction theorem. It is designed for use in the construction of invariants of representations from invariants of one-dimensional characters. This paper gives a number of further applications including some new ‘change of field’ maps between representation rings, the behaviour of the canonical form wwith respect to Adams operations and a description of a refinement of Explicit Brauer Induction to produce canonical ‘monomial resolutions’ of representations of finite groups.
