Jun 28 at 13:59 comment added Andi Bauer @SeanEberhard Thanks, I had also just noticed that $\rho_a=M(\bullet, a)$ is exactly the $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ representation I was looking for. And yes, I forgot to say $M$ is non-degenerate.

Jun 28 at 13:11 comment added Sean Eberhard Each element of $G$ induces a map $H \to \mathbb R / \mathbb Z$, and this map $G \to H^*$ factors through $G/H$ since the bilinear form is zero on $H$. Assuming the bilinear form is nondegenerate, the image of $G/H \to H^*$ separates the points of $H$, so it is a surjective homomorphism and it follows that $G/H$ is canonically isomorphic to $H^*$ since $|G/H| = |H| = |H^*|$.
Jun 28 at 13:08 comment added Sean Eberhard Do you assume the bilinear form is nondegenerate? If not, take $q = 0$ and you get easy counterexamples.
