Beschreibung
Finite groups of Lie type encompass most of the finite simple groups. Their matrix representations and characters have been studied intensively for half a century, though some key problems remain unsolved. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type over a field of the defining prime characteristic. The aim here is to make the subject more accessible to researchers in neighboring parts of group theory, number theory, and topology.
