Characters of Finite Coxeter Groups and Iwahori-Hecke Algebras
'An important book... The authors make full use of recent advances... The book is both a valuable resource for the expert and good starting point for the beginning researcher in this field... this is a very fine book which belongs on the shelves of anyone who is interested in the representation theory of Coxeter groups, Iwahori-Hecke algebras and, more generally, the groups of Lie type.' -Zentralblatt MATH'What makes the book especially valuable are the facts that the authors develop the various necessary theories nearly from the scratch... and that they include the algorithmic theory as well.' -Monatshefte för Mathematick'Written in an engaging and intelligible style... well structured and clearly printed.' -EMS'It will be a valuable reference for many years to come.' -Bulletin of the LMSFinite Coxeter groups and related structures arise naturally in several branches of mathematics, for example, Lie algebras or theory of knots and links. This is the first book which develops the character theory of finite Coxeter groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras in a systematic way, ranging from classical results to recent developments.
Iwahori-Hecke Algebras and Schur Algebras of the Symmetric Group
Author: Andrew Mathas

Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
Release Date: 1999
This volume presents a fully self-contained introduction to the modular representation theory of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups and of the $q$-Schur algebras. The study of these algebras was pioneered by Dipper and James in a series of landmark papers. The primary goal of the book is to classify the blocks and the simple modules of both algebras. The final chapter contains a survey of recent advances and open problems. The main results are proved by showing that the Iwahori-Hecke algebras and $q$-Schur algebras are cellular algebras (in the sense of Graham and Lehrer). This is proved by exhibiting natural bases of both algebras which are indexed by pairs of standard and semistandard tableaux respectively. Using the machinery of cellular algebras, which is developed in chapter 2, this results in a clean and elegant classification of the irreducible representations of both algebras. The block theory is approached by first proving an analogue of the Jantzen sum formula for the $q$-Schur algebras. This book is the first of its kind covering the topic. It offers a substantially simplified treatment of the original proofs. The book is a solid reference source for experts. It will also serve as a good introduction to students and beginning researchers since each chapter contains exercises and there is an appendix containing a quick development of the representation theory of algebras. A second appendix gives tables of decomposition numbers.
Handbook of Algebra
Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should) have a name or a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about them and feel the need for more information. If this happens, one should be able to find enough information in this Handbook to judge if it is worthwhile to pursue the quest. In addition to the primary information given in the Handbook, there are references to relevant articles, books or lecture notes to help the reader. An excellent index has been included which is extensive and not limited to definitions, theorems etc. The Handbook of Algebra will publish articles as they are received and thus the reader will find in this third volume articles from twelve different sections. The advantages of this scheme are two-fold: accepted articles will be published quickly and the outline of the Handbook can be allowed to evolve as the various volumes are published. A particularly important function of the Handbook is to provide professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own with sufficient information on the topic in question if and when it is needed.- Thorough and practical source for information- Provides in-depth coverage of new topics in algebra- Includes references to relevant articles, books and lecture notes
