OverviewThis volume contains articles by 20 leading workers in the field of algebraic groups and related finite groups. Articles on representation theory are written by Andersen on tilting modules, Carter on canonical bases, Cline, Parshall and Scott on endomorphism algebras, James and Kleschev on the symmetric group, Littelmann on the path model, Lusztig on homology bases, McNinch on semisimplicity in prime characteristic, Robinson on block theory, Scott on Lusztig's character formula, and Tanisaki on highest weight modules. Articles on subgroup structure are written by Setz and Brundan on double cosets, Liebeck on exceptional groups, Saxl on subgroups containing special elements, and Guralnick on applications of subgroup structure. Steinberg gives a new, short proof of the isomorphism and isogeny theorems for reductive groups. Aschbaker discusses the classification of quasithin groups and Borovik the classification of groups of finite Morley rank. Full Product DetailsAuthor: R.W. Carter , J.
