ISBN: 0849392438 ISBN-13: 9780849392436 Publisher: Epfl Press OUR PRICE: $147.25 Product Type: Hardcover Published: May 2007 Annotation: After the pioneering work of Brauer in the middle of the 20th century, many new developments have taken place and the group representation theory has grown into a very large field of study. This progress and the remaining open problems have ensured that group representation theory remains a lively area of research. In this book, the leading researchers in the field contribute a chapter in their field of specialty, namely: finite reductive groups and spetses; cohomology and representations of finite groups; representations of Hecke algebras; topics in algebraic groups; fusion systems and blocks; finite subgroups of Lie groups; the classification of endo-permutation modules; and rand cohomology of categories. |

| Publisher Description: After the pioneering work of Brauer in the middle of the 20th century in the area of the representation theory of groups, many entirely new developments have taken place and the field has grown into a very large field of study. This progress, and the remaining open problems (e.g., the conjectures of Alterin, Dade, Brou , James, etc.) have ensured that group representation theory remains a lively area of research. In this book, the leading researchers in the field contribute a chapter in their field of specialty, namely: Brou (Finite reductive groups and spetses); Carlson (Cohomology and representations of finite groups); Geck (Representations of Hecke algebras); Seitz (Topics in algebraic groups); Kessar and Linckelmann (Fusion systems and blocks); Serre (On finite subgroups of Lie groups); Th venaz (The classification of endo-permutaion modules); and Webb (Representations and cohomology of categories). |
