It is concerned with the representation theory of Hecke algebras in the non-semisimple case. We explain the role that these algebras play in the modular representation theory of finite groups of Lie type and survey the recent results which complete the classification of the simple modules. These results rely on the theory of Kazhdan--Lusztig cells in finite Weyl groups (with respect to possibly unequal parameters) and the theory of canonical bases for representations of quantum groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-03-02T13:38:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C08" ], "keywords": [ "hecke algebras", "finite weyl groups", "modular representation theory", "non-semisimple case", "kazhdan-lusztig cells" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 54, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....11548G" } } }
