This book provides a modern introduction to the representation theory of finite groups. Now in its second edition, the authors have revised the text and added m

Representation theory and character theory have proved essential in the study of finite simple groups since their early development by Frobenius. The author beg

Character theory is a powerful tool for understanding finite groups. In particular, the theory has been a key ingredient in the classification of finite simple

Through the fundamental work of Deligne and Lusztig in the 1970s, further developed mainly by Lusztig, the character theory of reductive groups over finite fiel

Originally written in 1940, this book remains a classical source on representations and characters of finite and compact groups. The book starts with necessary
