Under the assumptions of case of theorem 1 we derive from (3.32) the matrix equation

so that there corresponds the matrix B to the bilinear form

on the linear space

4.2

and fP,μ, is symmetric if ɛ = (-1)μ+1, anti-symmetric if ɛ = (-1)μ.

The last statement remains true in the case a) if P is symmetric irreducible because in that case fP,μ is 0.
