Brauer’s problems: 60 years of legacy
Richard Brauer (1901–1977) was a German–American mathematician who is regarded as the founder of a highly active mathematical area known as modular representation theory. This area grew from group theory, which can be thought of as the mathematical study of symmetries. In this snapshot, we hope to impress on the reader the legacy left by Brauer and celebrate the 60th anniversary of “Brauer’s problems”, a list of 43 conjectures and objectives suggested by Brauer in 1963. These problems inspired an entire branch within character theory, studying “local-global conjectures”.
