Representations Of Finite And Lie Groupsby Charles B Thomas
World Scientific 2004; US$ 62.40This book provides an introduction to representations of both finite and compact groups. The proofs of the basic results are given for the finite case, but are so phrased as to hold without change for compact topological groups with an invariant integral replacing the sum over the group elements as an averaging tool. Among the topics covered are the relation between representations and characters, the construction of irreducible representations, induced representations and Frobenius reciprocity. Special emphasis is given to exterior powers, with the symmetric group Sn as an illustrative example. more...
Representation Theory of Finite Reductive Groupsby Marc Cabanes; Michel Enguehard; Bela Bollobas; William Fulton; Anatole Katok; Frances Kirwan; Peter Sarnak; Barry Simon
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 161.00Cabanes and Enguehard blend many of the main concerns of modern algebra, synthesising the past 25 years of research, with full proofs of some of the most remarkable achievements. Three main themes are evident: first, applications of étale cohomology; second, the Dipper-James theorems; finally, local representation theory. more...
Moonshine beyond the Monsterby Terry Gannon
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 53.00This book describes the general theory of Moonshine and its underlying concepts, emphasising the fundamental ideas and examples behind some of the most fascinating topics in mathematics and physics. For graduates and researchers working in areas such as algebra, number theory, geometry, analysis, quantum field theory and conformal field theory. more...
The Isomorphism Problem In Coxeter Groupsby Patrick Bahls
World Scientific 2005; US$ 68.00The book is the first to give a comprehensive overview of the techniques and tools currently being used in the study of combinatorial problems in Coxeter groups. It is self-contained, and accessible even to advanced undergraduate students of mathematics. The primary purpose of the book is to highlight approximations to the difficult isomorphism problem in Coxeter groups. A number of theorems relating to this problem are stated and proven. Most of the results addressed here concern conditions which can be seen as varying degrees of uniqueness of representations of Coxeter groups. Throughout the investigation, the readers are introduced to a large number of tools in the theory of Coxeter groups, drawn from dozens of recent articles by prominent... more...
Classes of Finite Groupsby Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches; Luis M. Ezquerro
Springer 2006; US$ 235.00Many group theorists all over the world have been trying to extend and adapt the methods of the Theory of Finite Soluble Groups to the more ambitious universe of all finite groups. This is a natural progression after the classification of finite simple groups. This book aims to gather, order and examine the material related to this field. more...
Enumeration of Finite Groupsby Simon R. Blackburn; Peter M. Neumann; Geetha Venkataraman
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 90.00First text to focus on exciting area of group-theoretic research: the question how many groups of order n are there? more...
Groups of Prime Power Order, 2by Yakov Berkovich; Zvonimir Janko
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 137.00This is the second of three volumes devoted to elementary finite p-group theory. Similar to the first volume, hundreds of important results are analyzed and, in many cases, simplified. Important topics presented in this monograph include: (a) classification of p-groups all of whose cyclic subgroups of composite orders are normal, (b) classification of 2-groups with exactly three involutions, (c) two proofs of Ward's theorem on quaternion-free groups, (d) 2-groups with small centralizers of an involution, (e) classification of 2-groups with exactly four cyclic subgroups of order 2n > 2, (f) two new proofs of Blackburn's theorem on minimal nonmetacyclic groups, (g) classification of p-groups all of whose subgroups of index p2 are abelian,... more...
Groups of Prime Power Order, 1by Yakov Berkovich
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 137.00This is the first of three volumes of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory. Topics covered in this monograph include: (a) counting of subgroups, with almost all main counting theorems being proved, (b) regular p-groups and regularity criteria, (c) p-groups of maximal class and their numerous characterizations, (d) characters of p-groups, (e) p-groups with large Schur multiplier and commutator subgroups, (f) (p?1)-admissible Hall chains in normal subgroups, (g) powerful p-groups, (h) automorphisms of p-groups, (i) p-groups all of whose nonnormal subgroups are cyclic, (j) Alperin's problem on abelian subgroups of small index. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students of mathematics with a modest... more...
The Monster Group and Majorana Involutionsby A. A. Ivanov
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 86.00A rigorous construction and uniqueness proof for the Monster group, detailing its relation to Majorana involutions. more...
Frobenius Categories versus Brauer Blocksby Lluís Puig; H. Bass; J. Oesterlé; A. Weinstein
Springer 2009; US$ 129.00Introduces and develops the abstract setting of the Frobenius categories for an understanding of what was loosely called the local theory either of finite groups or of blocks, and for the purpose of an eventual classification. more...
