Turning weight multiplicities into Brauer characters (Q2182362)

The purpose of the paper is to describe two methods for computing \(p\)-modular Brauer character tables for groups of Lie type \(G(p^f)\) in defining characteristic \(p\), assuming that the ordinary character table of \(G(p^f)\) is known, and the weight multiplicities of the corresponding algebraic group \(\mathbf{G}\) are known for \(p\)-restricted highest weights. As an application of these methods some character tables are computed for the modular ATLAS project.
