“…It is the purpose of this survey to expound some of the recent considerable advances on several of the major open conjectures in this area. In this sense, this article can be seen as a continuation of the 1991 survey by Michler [70]. In particular, the opening question in the introduction to that paper whether central conjectures in (modular) representation theory might be provable as a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, has recently been given at least a partial positive answer.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
