makeComplexRepresentationMackeyFunctor -- constructs the complex representation Mackey functor

Description

The complex representation Mackey functor of a group $G$ is defined by sending $G/H$ to the Grothendieck group of complex $G$-representations. The transfer and restriction come from induction and restriction of $G$-representations. When $G$ is a cyclic group of prime order, this admits a nice form. The underlying module is given by $\ZZ$ with trivial conjugation action, while the fixed module is $\mathbb{Z}\{\lambda_{0},\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_{p-1}\}$. The element $\lambda_i$ represents the one dimensional complex representation given by multiplication by $e^{2\pi i/p}$. Restriction is defined as", \[\text{res}_e^{C_p} \colon \mathbb{Z}\{\lambda_{0},\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_{p-1}\} \to \mathbb{Z}\] by sending $\lambda_i\mapsto 1$. The transfer \[\text{tr}_e^{C_p} \colon \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}\{\lambda_{0},\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_{p-1}\}\] sends $x\mapsto x\cdot \left(\sum^{p-1}_{0} \lambda_i\right)$.
