Title: Elementary Modular Representation Theory
Speaker: Eric M. Friedlander
University of Southern California, USA
Abstract:
We discuss recent joint work with Jon Carlson, Julia Pevtsova, and Andrei Suslin. We are interested in actions of a finite group G (or similar structure) on a vector space over a field of characteristic p > 0 dividing the order of G. The special case G = Z/p is fully understood, but there is much to investigate in the case G = Z/p x Z/p. Because Z/p \times Z/p has wild representation type, we focus attention on a special class of representations, those of constant Jordan type. Many examples and structure theorems have been developed. If time permits, we will mention generalizations to arbitrary finite group schemes.
