Representations Of Finite Chevalley Groups

Features notes that arose from a series of lectures given by the author at a CBMS Regional Conference held at Madison, Wisconsin, in August 1977. The purpose of the notes was to show how $1$-adic cohomology of algebraic varieties over fields of characteristic $p>1$ can be used to get information on the representations of finite Chevalley groups.

An up-to-date and self-contained introduction based on a graduate course taught at the University of Paris.

Robert Steinberg's Lectures on Chevalley Groups were delivered and written during the author's sabbatical visit to Yale University in the 1967–1968 academic year. The work presents the status of the theory of Chevalley groups as it was in the mid-1960s. Much of this material was instrumental in many areas of mathematics, in particular in the theory of algebraic groups and in the subsequent classification of finite groups. This posthumous edition incorporates additions and corrections prepared by the author during his retirement, including a new introductory chapter. A bibliography and editorial notes have also been added.

Gives an introduction to the general theory of representations of algebraic group schemes. This title deals with representation theory of reductive algebraic groups and includes topics such as the description of simple modules, vanishing theorems, Borel-Bott-Weil theorem and Weyl's character formula, and Schubert schemes and lne bundles on them.
