Local Representation Theory: Modular Representations as an Introduction to the Local Representation Theory of Finite Groups (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics, Series Number 11) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Representation theory has applications to number theory, combinatorics and many areas of algebra. The aim of this text is to present some of the key results in the representation theory of finite groups. Professor Alperin concentrates on local representation theory, emphasizing module theory throughout. In this way many deep results can be obtained rather quickly. After two introductory chapters, the basic results of Green are proved, which in turn lead in due course to Brauer's First Main Theorem. A proof of the module form of Brauer's Second Main Theorem is then presented, followed by a discussion of Feit's work connecting maps and the Green correspondence. The work concludes with a treatment, new in part, of the Brauer-Dade theory. Exercises are provided at the end of most sections; the results of some are used later in the text.

Review
"...a beautifully written book. Anyone wishing to learn the fundamental facts of Brauer's theory of blocks cannot do better than to begin his [or her] study with this text." Bulletin of The London Mathematical Society

Jonathan Lazare Alperin, auch Jon Alperin, (* 2. Juni 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Gruppentheorie befasst. Alperin studierte an der Harvard University (Bachelor-Abschluss 1959) und der Princeton University, mit dem Master-Abschluss 1960 und der Promotion 1961 bei Graham Higman (On a Special Class of Regular p-Groups). Als Post-Doktorand war er 1961/62 an der University of Oxford und 1962/63 als Moore-Instructor am Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 1963 wurde er Assistant Professor, 1966 Associate Professor und 1970 Professor an der University of Chicago. Er ist bekannt für den Satz von Alperin-Brauer-Gorenstein (mit Richard Brauer, Daniel Gorenstein), der die einfachen endlichen Gruppen mit quasidihedralen Sylow-2-Untergruppen klassifiziert. Er ist auch für die Gewichts-Vermutung von Alperin bekannt (Alperin Weight Conjecture). Er war mehrfach am Institute for Advanced Study (1969, 1979, 1983) und Gastprofessor an der University of California, Berkeley (1981), in Oxford (All Souls College 1981), an der University of Georgia (Cantrell Lecturer 2002) und an der Universität Paris VII (1982). 1990 war er am MSRI. 1974/75 war er Guggenheim Fellow. 2012 wurde er Fellow der American Mathematical Society.
