Modular Representation Theory of Finite Groups : Proceedings of a Symposium Held at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, May 8-15 1998.

Intro -- Preface -- Lectures given during the Symposium -- Modular Harish-Chandra series, Hecke algebras and (generalized) q-Schur algebras -- Tensor products and restrictions in type A -- Block theory via stable and Rickard equivalences -- Alperin's weight conjecture in terms of linear source modules and trivial source modules -- Alvis-Curtis duality as an equivalence of derived categories -- Relating the cohomology of general linear groups and symmetric groups -- Generalized q-Schur algebras and the ways to approach them -- Filtrations on projective modules for Iwahori-Hecke algebras -- Projective representations for some exceptional finite groups of Lie type -- Splitting fields and twisted group rings for the finite general linear groups -- Irreducible tensor products of representations of finite quasi-simple groups of Lie type.

The series is aimed specifically at publishing peer reviewed reviews and contributions presented at workshops and conferences. Each volume is associated with a particular conference, symposium or workshop. These events cover various topics within pure and applied mathematics and provide up-to-date coverage of new developments, methods and applications.
