Description for Representation Theory of Finite Groups: Algebra and Arithmetic (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Representation theory plays important roles in geometry, algebra, analysis, and mathematical physics. This book presents an introduction to the representation theory of finite groups from an algebraic point of view, regarding representations as modules over the group algebra. It is suitable for a year-long graduate course. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 232 pages, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 261 x 184 x 16. Weight in Grams: 598.
'We explore widely in the valley of ordinary representations, and we take the reader over the mountain pass leading to the valley of modular representations, to a point from which (s)he can survey this valley, but we do not attempt to widely explore it. We hope the reader will be sufficiently fascinated by the scenery to further explore both valleys on his/her own' - from the Preface. Representation theory plays important roles in geometry, algebra, analysis, and mathematical physics. In particular, it has been one of the great tools in the study and classification of finite groups. The theory contains ... Read more
