Finite groups of Lie type encompass most of the finite simple groups. Their representations and characters have been studied intensively for half a century, though some key problems remain unsolved. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type over a field of the defining prime characteristic. As a subtheme, the relationship between ordinary and modular representations is explored, in the context of Deligne-Lusztig characters. One goal has been to make the subject more accessible to those working in neighboring parts of group theory, number theory, and topology.

- Core material is covered in detail, while other topics and recent developments are surveyed
- One goal has been to make the subject more accessible to those working in neighboring parts of group theory, number theory, and topology: chapters are accompanied by examples and carefully selected references
Reviews & endorsements
"In addition to being a leader in the field of modular representation theory, Humphreys' clarity of exposition is almost universally known. The book is expertly written...Humphreys has done a great service to the representation-theoretic community by writing this book."
