Representations and Characters of Groups
By Unknown Author.
Description
This book provides a modern introduction to the representation theory of finite groups. The theory is developed in terms of modules, since this is appropriate for more advanced work, but considerable emphasis is placed upon constructing characters. The character tables of many groups are given, including all groups of order less than 32, and all but one of the simple groups of order less than 1000. Amongst those applications covered are Burnside's paqb theorem, the use of character theory in studying subgroup structure, and a description of how to use representation theory to investiga...
