Book Review: Representations of finite Chevalley groups

Small degree representations of finite Chevalley groups in defining characteristic

We determine for all simple simply connected reductive linear algebraic groups defined over a finite field all irreducible representations in their defining characteristic of degree below some bound. These also give the small degree projective representations in defining characteristic for the corresponding finite simple groups. For large rank l our bound is proportional to l3 and for rank 11 m...

Representations of Chevalley Groups Arising from Admissible Lattices

The modules for a Chevalley group arising from admissible lattices in an irreducible module for the associated complex semisimple Lie algebra are studied. It is proved that the transpose of such a module is still in this collection and generically the cohomology modules of line bundles on the flag varieties are in this collection also. In the rank 1 case, all modules in this collection are inde...

Representations of Finite Groups

We provide a formal framework for the theory of representations of finite groups, as modules over the group ring. Along the way, we develop the general theory of groups (relying on the group add class for the basics), modules, and vector spaces, to the extent required for theory of group representations. We then provide formal proofs of several important introductory theorems in the subject, in...
