Description for Blocks of Finite Groups and Their Invariants
paperback. Series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics. Num Pages: 256 pages, 1 black & white illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 403.
Providing a nearly complete selection of up-to-date methods and results on block invariants with respect to their defect groups, this book covers the classical theory pioneered by Brauer, the modern theory of fusion systems introduced by Puig, the geometry of numbers developed by Minkowski, the classification of finite simple groups, and various computer assisted methods. In a powerful combination, these tools are applied to solve many special cases of famous open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups. Most of the material is drawn from peer-reviewed journal articles, but there are also new previously unpublished results. In order to ... Read more

Reviews for Blocks of Finite Groups and Their Invariants
“It gives an excellent survey of the current state of knowledge with regards to the precise determination of the numerical invariants of blocks with a given defect group … . The book is a treasure trove of theorems and useful tables, and uses a wide variety of techniques, including the classification of finite simple groups and the GAP computer algebra ... Read more
