Explicit Brauer Induction: With Applications to Algebra and Number Theory

by Snaith Victor P. and Victor P. Snaith

Book Overview

Explicit Brauer Induction is a new and important technique in algebra, discovered by the author in 1986. It solves an old problem, giving a canonical formula for Brauer's induction theorem. In this book it is derived algebraically, following a method of R. Boltje--thereby making the technique, previously topological, accessible to algebraists. Once developed, the technique is used, by way of illustration, to reprove some important known results in...
