Description
Book SynopsisGives an introduction to the general theory of representations of algebraic group schemes. This title deals with representation theory of reductive algebraic groups and includes topics such as the description of simple modules, vanishing theorems, Borel-Bott-Weil theorem and Weyl's character formula, and Schubert schemes and lne bundles on them.
Trade Review“This is an authoritative [book] which, in its updated form, will continue to be the research worker’s main reference. From a practical point of view, the scheme adopted of adding new material in the final chapters and keeping the structure of the rest of the book largely unchanged is extremely convenient for all those familiar with the first edition. We are extremely lucky to have such a superb text.
