These representations proved to be useful for the construction of abelian varieties with small endomorphism rings.LaTeX2e, 14 pages We added a discussion of interrelations between very simple representations and doubly transitive permutation groupsGroup TheoryAlgebraic Geometry20C25; 20C07; 14H40Very simple representations: variations on a theme of Cliffordtext
