At the end of Chapter 3 there is a brief intuitive discussion of Springer theory limited to the case of the symmetric group as Weyl group of the special linear group. Here the component groups of centralizers of unipotent elements are trivial, while both unipotent classes and Weyl group representations are parametrized by partitions. In Chapter 4 they show in an original way how to study finite dimensional representations of special linear groups in a similar spirit. Very nice but not the book I'd like on Springer theory. | |
