         Return the discrete Foruier transform when the characteristic divides the order of the group.
         See [Mur1983]_ for contrstruction of central primitive orthogonal idempotents.
+        For each idempotent e_i we have a projection v |--> v*e_i. This is a homomorphism.
+        We choose a basis for each submodule spanning by {\sigma*e_i | \sigma \in S_n}.
+        The change-of-basis from the standard basis {\sigma}_\sigma is returned.
