Book DetailsMemoirs of the American Mathematical SocietyVolume: 121; 1996; 111 ppMSC: Primary 20
The theory of simple algebraic groups is important in many areas of mathematics. The authors of this book investigate the subgroups of certain types of simple algebraic groups and obtain a complete description of all those subgroups which are themselves simple. This description is particularly useful in understanding centralizers of subgroups and restrictions of representations.
ReadershipGraduate students and research mathematicians interested in group theory and generalizations.
