Schur algebras are algebraic systems which provide a link between the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear groups (both finite and infinite). Dr Martin gives a full, self-contained account of this algebra and these links, covering both the basic theory of Schur algebras and related areas. He discusses the usual representation-theoretic topics such as constructions of irreducible modules, the blocks containing them, their modular characters and the problem of computing decomposition numbers; moreover deeper properties such as the quasi-hereditariness of the Schur algebra are also considered. The opportunity is taken to give an account of quantum versions of Schur algebras and their relations with certain q-deformations of the co-ordinate rings of general linear group. The approach is combinatorial where possible, thereby making the presentation accessible to graduate students. A few topics however require results from the representation theory of algebraic groups, so, to keep the book reasonably self-contained, an appendix on that is included. This is the first comprehensive text in this important and active area of research; it will be of interest to all research workers in representation theory.
Industry Reviews
"this book can be a source of useful information for beginners in the field of representations of symmetric and general linear groups and finite-dimensional algebras and specialists as well. Most of the treatments are combinatorial, so it is accessible to graduate students...the text is comprehensible and the research area is important and active...the book is readable and will be a handy book for specialists whose interests lie in this area." Jie Du, Mathematical Reviews "An excellent and thorough survey of one of the currently liveliest topics in algebra. Congratulations for work well done, Mr, Martin." The Bulletin of Mathematics
