Deligne-Luszitg theory
We will study the representation theory of finite reductive groups using ideas originated by the work of Deligne and Lusztig. The principal aim of the course is to provide a classification of the ordinary irreducible representations of this class of groups. Time permitting, and depending on the class' interest, we will cover some aspects of the modular representation theory as well (e.g. classification of blocks, generalized Harish-Chandra theory and more).
