Böcker av George Lusztig

The quantum groups discussed in this book are the quantized enveloping algebras introduced by Drinfeld and Jimbo in 1985, or variations thereof. This book will be of interest to mathematicians working in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, knot theorists and to theoretical physicists and graduate students.

This book presents a classification of all (complex)irreducible representations of a reductive group withconnected centre, over a finite field. To achieve this,the author uses etale intersection cohomology, anddetailed information on representations of Weylgroups.
