Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences: Finite Groups of Lie Type Finite-Dimensional Division Algebras

Kostrikin, A.I.; Cohn, P.M.; Carter, R.W.; Shafarevich, I.R.; Platonov, V.P.; Yanchevskii, V.I.

The first contribution covers the theory of finite groups of Lie type, which is an important field of current mathematical research. After giving the basic information Carter describes the Deligne-Lusztig method of obtaining characters of these groups using l-adic cohomology and subsequent work of Lusztig.
The second part by Platonov and Yanchevskii surveys the structure of finite-dimensional division algebras and includes an account of reduced K-theory.
