Introducing the representation theory of finite groups, this second edition has been revised and updated. The theory is developed in terms of modules with consi

Representation theory and character theory have proved essential in the study of finite simple groups since their early development by Frobenius. The author beg

Character theory is a powerful tool for understanding finite groups. In particular, the theory has been a key ingredient in the classification of finite simple

Originally written in 1940, this book remains a classical source on representations and characters of finite and compact groups. The book starts with necessary
