If V are W are finite-dimensional representations of a finite group, then the scalar product of their characters is equal to the dimension of the space of equivariant maps from V to W.

The current version of mathlib has all the necessary ingredients to prove this, but doesn't for some reason; it only has the case where V and W are irreducible (i.e. Schur orthogonality). This PR proves the general case and deduces Schur orthogonality from it.

  • The relative value is the weighted sum of the differences with weight given by the inverse of the current value of the statistic.
  • The absolute value is the relative value divided by the total sum of the inverses of the current values (i.e. the weighted average of the differences).

…s is the dimension of the space of equivariant maps (#25000)

If `V` are `W` are finite-dimensional representations of a finite group, then the scalar product of their characters is equal to the dimension of the space of equivariant maps from `V` to `W`.

The current version of mathlib has all the necessary ingredients to prove this, but doesn't for some reason; it only has the case where `V` and `W` are irreducible (i.e. Schur orthogonality). This PR proves the general case and deduces Schur orthogonality from it.
