This is the first book to link the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, a classical object of study in algebraic topology, with modular representations of matrix groups over the field F of two elements. The link is provided through a detailed study of Peterson's 'hit problem' concerning the …

We use the Bullett-Macdonald formulation of the Adem relations to construct an integer lift U/{\cal I} of the mod-2 Steenrod squares, and show that U/{\cal I} is a Hopf algebra. We extend scalars to obtain an algebra {\cal A}\sb2(R) over any commutative ring R, and show for R = …
