Here the lemma for permutation modules <strong>of</strong> <strong>cyclic</strong> <strong>groups</strong> can<br />

not be applied any longer. Instead we need to recall a theorem<br />

<strong>of</strong> Burnside that is not so well-known any longer.<br />

If G acts on Ω and if U ⊆ G let fix Ω (U) be the number <strong>of</strong><br />

elements ω ∈ Ω fixed by all elements <strong>of</strong> U. (This function extends<br />

the permutation character to sub<strong>groups</strong>.)
