Geometric techniques in representation theory (Q1100551): Difference between revisions

A discussion of results and conjectures focused on the extension of modular representation theory for finite Lie-type groups to more general groups that act on building-like geometries. Contents: I. Toward a theory of modular irreducibles for geometric simple groups. A. Local structure and group geometries. B. Irreducible modules for Chevalley groups in natural characteristic. C. A classification scheme based on a notion of high-weight vectors. II. A special case: modules of ``adjoint type''. A. Lie algebras, long-root geometries, and large extraspecial groups. B. Some results on embedding of large extraspecial geometries. III. A curiosity concerning adjoint modules.
