World Scientific Publishing Company Modular Representation Theory of Finite And P-Adic Groups: 30 (Lecture Notes Series, Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore)

From the Back Cover This volume is an outgrowth of the program Modular Representation Theory of Finite and p-Adic Groups held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at National University of Singapore during the period of 1 26 April 2013. It contains research works in the areas of modular representation theory of p-adic groups and finite groups and their related algebras. The aim of this volume is to provide a bridge where interactions are rare between researchers from these two areas by highlighting the latest developments, suggesting potential new research problems, and promoting new collaborations. It is perhaps one of the few volumes, if not only, which treats such a juxtaposition of diverse topics, emphasizing their common core at the heart of Lie theory.
