Question: Show that for a matrix representation (D(x)) satisfying Eq. (2.8), a new set of matrices formed by performing the same similarity transform (S^{-1} D(x) S)

Show that for a matrix representation \(D(x)\) satisfying Eq. (2.8), a new set of matrices formed by performing the same similarity transform \(S^{-1} D(x) S\) for a fixed matrix \(S\) on all matrices \(D(x)\) is also a representation.

Data from Eq. (2.8)

T(G)(r)=(G'r).
