There is nothing about decomposition theory. Also everything is written in the language of modules, but some results become more clearer if expressed for example in terms of central idempotents. After reading Alperin's book for example you may have a hard time understanding what Brauers main theorems as listed on wikipedia have to do with the three theorems you learned from Alperin... | |
