This book is based on a graduate course taught at the University of Paris. The authors aim to treat the basic theory of representations of finite groups of Lie type, such as linear, unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups. They emphasise the Curtis-Alvis duality map and Mackey…

fromIAS/Park City mathematics series
"This book contains written versions of the lectures given at the PCMI Graduate Summer School on the representation theory of Lie groups. The volume begins with lectures by A. Knapp and P. Trapa outlining the state of the subject around the year 1975, specifically, the fundament…
This book is an introduction to the representation theory of compact Lie groups, following Hermann Weyl's original approach. Although the authors discuss all aspects of finite-dimensional Lie theory, the emphasis throughout the book is on the groups themselves. The presentation …
