Representation theory is a tool used to better understand the structure of a group and the symmetries it represents by giving us a way to view, in some sense, an abstract group as a group of matrices whose structure is often easier to understand. In particular, the irreducible representations form the &#8220;building blocks&#8221; of all representations.\u00a0 (<a style=\"font-size: 1rem\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14760\/SNAP-2016-005-EN\">Click here for\u00a0<\/a>a short introduction to the area by my colleagues <a href=\"https:\/\/eugeniomaths.wordpress.com\/\">Eugenio Giannelli<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/math.arizona.edu\/~jaytaylor\/\">Jay Taylor<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Most of my research involves the irreducible representations of finite groups of Lie type, sometimes called finite reductive groups.\u00a0 These groups are analogues of Lie groups over finite fields and form the largest collection of finite simple groups.\u00a0 I have been particularly interested in problems concerning local-global conjectures in character theory and problems involving the action of Galois automorphisms of characters.<\/p>\n<p>Click on one of the links at the top for more information!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>***I stopped updating this website in June 2023 &#8211; see my new site https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/mandisf *** Publications Invited Presentations \u00a0Conferences and Research Travel &nbsp; Overview: (See links above for my publication and presentation lists.)
