Theorem. Clifford homogeneity and the semidirect route [fgap-001Q]
Let \(N\trianglelefteq G\) and let \(V\) be an irreducible complex representation of \(G\). If \(W_1,\ldots ,W_r\) represent the distinct conjugates of an irreducible constituent of \(V|_N\), then for 1 positive integer \(e\), \[ V|_N\cong e(W_1\oplus \cdots \oplus W_r). \] Thus restriction is homogeneous along a single orbit. The common multiplicity is an additional assertion beyond the single orbit in Clifford restriction. This is Clifford's theorem, [james2001representations, thm. 20.8, pp. 216--217].
The inertia subgroup is the intermediate group where one studies whether \(W\) extends, possibly projectively, before inducing to \(G\). For semidirect products, this reduces the problem to the action of the complement. For \(Q_8\rtimes C_3\cong 2T\), it connects the normal quaternion subgroup to the skew-Group-Algebra model in two routes from binary tetrahedral symmetry. This theorem does not supply the full character table of \(2T\).
