Book Descriptions:
This is the second of two volumes which will provide an introduction to modern developments in the representation theory of finite groups and associative algebras. The subject is viewed from the perspective of homological algebra and the theory of representations of finite dimensional algebras; the author emphasises modular representations and the homological algebra associated with their categories. This volume concentrates on the cohomology of groups, always with representations in view, however. It begins with a background reference chapter, then proceeds to an overview of the algebraic topology and K-theory associated with cohomology of groups, especially the work of Quillen. Later chapters look at algebraic and topological proofs of the finite generation of the cohomology ring of a finite group, and an algebraic approach to the Steenrod operations in group cohomology. The book cumulates in a chapter dealing with the theory of varieties for modules. Much of the material presented here has never appeared before in book form. Consequently students and research workers studying group theory, and indeed algebra in general, will be grateful to Dr Benson for supplying an exposition of a good deal of the essential results of modern representation theory.

Representations and Cohomology: Volume 2, Cohomology of Groups and Modules (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) by D. J. Benson

From reader reviews:

Christine Willis:

Book is usually written, printed, or created for everything. You can know everything you want by a reserve. Book has a different type. As you may know that book is important issue to bring us around the world. Adjacent to that you can your reading proficiency was fluently. A guide Representations and Cohomology: Volume 2, Cohomology of Groups and Modules (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) will make you to always be smarter. You can feel more confidence if you can know about almost everything. But some of you think which open or reading some sort of book make you bored. It is far from make you fun. Why they are often thought like that? Have you in search of best book or acceptable book with you?

Joseph Anderson:

Information is provisions for anyone to get better life, information presently can get by anyone on everywhere. The information can be a understanding or any news even an issue. What people must be consider whenever those information which is within the former life are difficult to be find than now could be taking seriously which one would work to believe or which one the resource are convinced. If you receive the unstable resource then you have it as your main information you will see huge disadvantage for you. All those possibilities will not happen within you if you take Representations and Cohomology: Volume 2, Cohomology of Groups and Modules (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) as the daily resource information.

Matthew Venegas:

Are you kind of active person, only have 10 or perhaps 15 minute in your moment to upgrading your mind proficiency or thinking skill actually analytical thinking? Then you are receiving problem with the book compared to can satisfy your short space of time to read it because all of this time you only find book that need more time to be read. Representations and Cohomology: Volume 2, Cohomology of Groups and Modules (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) can be your answer because it can be read by you who have those short spare time problems.

Reva Morison:

As a college student exactly feel bored to be able to reading. If their teacher requested them to go to the library or make summary for some reserve, they are complained. Just very little students that has reading's heart or real their passion. They just do what the trainer want, like asked to go to the library. They go to right now there but nothing reading seriously. Any students feel that looking at is not important, boring in addition to can't see colorful pictures on there. Yeah, it is for being complicated. Book is very important in your case. As we know that on this age, many ways to get whatever we would like. Likewise word says, ways to reach Chinese's country. Therefore this Representations and Cohomology: Volume 2, Cohomology of Groups and Modules (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) can make you sense more interested to read.
