Local Representation Theory: Modular Representations as an Introduction to the Local Representation Theory of Finite Groups

by J.L. Alperin

Book Overview

Representation theory has applications to number theory, combinatorics and many areas of algebra. The aim of this text is to present some of the key results in the representation theory of finite groups. Professor Alperin concentrates on local representation theory, emphasizing module theory throughout. In this way many deep results can be obtained rather quickly. After two introductory chapters, the basic results of Green are proved, which in turn...
