This graduate textbook presents a concrete and up-to-date introduction to the theory of Coxeter groups. The book is self-contained, making it suitable either for courses and seminars or for self-study. The first part is devoted to establishing concrete examples. Finite reflection groups acting on Euclidean spaces are discussed, and the first part ends with the construction of the affine Weyl groups, a class of Coxeter groups that plays a major role in Lie theory. The second part (which is logically independent of, but motivated by, the first) develops from scratch the properties of Coxeter groups in general, including the Bruhat ordering and the seminal work of Kazhdan and Lusztig on representations of Hecke algebras associated with Coxeter groups is introduced. Finally a number of interesting complementary topics as well as connections with Lie theory are sketched. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography on Coxeter groups and their applications.

Modular Representations of Finite Groups of Lie Type

Finite groups of Lie type encompass most of the finite simple groups. Their representations and characters have been studied intensively for half a century, though some key problems remain unsolved. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type over a field of the defining prime characteristic. As a subtheme, the relationship between ordinary and modular representations is explored, in the context of Deligne-Lusztig characters. One goal has been to make the subject more accessible to those working in neighbouring parts of group theory, number theory, and topology. Core material is treated in detail, but the later chapters emphasize informal exposition accompanied by examples and precise references.

The book provides a useful exposition of results on the structure of semisimple algebraic groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field. After the fundamental work of Borel and Chevalley in the 1950s and 1960s, further results were obtained over the next thirty years on conjugacy classes and centralizers of elements of such groups.

This is the first textbook treatment of work leading to the landmark 1979 Kazhdan– Lusztig Conjecture on characters of simple highest weight modules for a semisimple Lie algebra g over C. The setting is the module category O introduced by Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand, which includes all highest weight modules for g such as Verma modules and finite dimensional simple modules. Analogues of this category have become influential in many areas of representation theory.Part I can be used as a text for independent study or for a mid-level one semester graduate course; it includes exercises and examples. The main prerequisite is familiarity with the structure theory of g. Basic techniques in category O such as BGG Reciprocity and Jantzen’s translation functors are developed, culminating in an overview of the proof of the Kazhdan–Lusztig Conjecture (due to Beilinson–Bernstein and Brylinski–Kashiwara). The full proof however is beyond the scope of this book, requiring deep geometric methods: D -modules and perverse sheaves on the flag variety. Part II introduces closely related topics important in current research: parabolic category O , projective functors, tilting modules, twisting and completion functors, and Koszul duality theorem of Beilinson–Ginzburg–Soergel.
