| Sep 28, 2010 at 13:49 | comment | added | Bugs Bunny | Maybe, but most weights-roots business should not even be studied in the context of algebraic groups. Any book on Lie algebras is preferable. Then the first true "Algebraic Group Representation Theory" fact is BWB and RAGS has a decent expo of it (if I remember correctly - I won't go into library to check)... | |

If you're interested in the characteristic 0 story, RAGS is overwhelming (indeed, I first tried to learn the characteristic 0 story out of RAGS, and had to give up and come back again later when I had a better feeling for the topic). | |
