Characters of Finite Coxeter Groups and Iwahori-Hecke Algebras

by Meinolf Geck

Finite Coxeter groups and related structures arise naturally in several branches of mathematics such as the theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups. The corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebras are then obtained by a certain deformation process which have applications in the representation theory of groups of Lie type and the theory of knots and links. This book develops the theory of conjugacy classes and irreducible character, both for finite Coxeter...
