About the Book

The representation theory of symmetric groups is one of the most beautiful, popular and important parts of algebra, with many deep relations to other areas of mathematics such as combinatories, Lie theory and algebraic geometry. Kleshchev describes a new approach to the subject, based on the recent work of Lascoux, Leclerc, Thibon, Ariki, Grojnowski and Brundan, as well as his own. Much of this work has previously appeared only in the research literature. However to make it accessible to graduate students, the theory is developed from scratch, the only prerequisite being a standard course in abstract algebra. For the sake of transparency, Kleshchev concentrates on symmetric and spin-symmetric groups, though methods he develops are quite general and apply to a number of related objects. In sum, this unique book will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers as a modern account of the subject.

About the Author :
Alexander Kleshchev is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oregon.

Review :
"The book is written with great care and in a dense style... The author has mastered a very difficult task in writing this book and has enriched the literature on the symmetric groups with a unique and very valuable monograph, making the formidable recent developments more widely accessible by starting the presentation from scratch." Christine Bessenrodt, Mathematical Reviews
