the classification of hyperelliptic varieties in dimensions 2, 3 and 4

Invariants from representation theory

Because $G$ acts freely on $T$, the quotient map is étale and

$$ \mathrm{H}^k(X,\mathbb{C}) = \mathrm{H}^k(T,\mathbb{C})^G . $$

The translation parts $\tau(g)$ act trivially on cohomology, so every invariant below depends only on the tangent representation $\rho\colon G \to \mathrm{GL}(V)$, not on the group action.

All of these are computed with OSCAR from the character table of $G$; see the source.

The formulas and the general framework are due to Demleitner.
