Are there any groups with this property that are small enough that you could show an example? --- John Conway <conway@Math.Princeton.EDU> wrote:
There exist finite groups for which algebraic conjugacy acts differently on the rows (ie., irreducible representations) fromn the way it acts on the columns (ie., conjugacy classes). There is in fact a unique SIMPLE group with this property, the so-called Tits group. To my mind, this is the best proof that the rows and columns don'y really correspond.
