Bücher der Reihe New Mathematical Monographs

In this 2004 book, Cabanes and Enguehard blend many of the main concerns of modern algebra, with full proofs of some of the most remarkable achievements in the area. Three main themes are evident: first, applications of etale cohomology; second, the Dipper-James theorems; finally, local representation theory.

This book provides a complete and reasonably self-contained account of a new classification of connected Lie groups into two classes. Background material is introduced gradually to familiarise readers with the necessary ideas. A large number of accessible open problems will inspire students to explore further.
