Dear all,
 I draw your attention to a workshop at the Newton
Institute which will take place April 7-12 1997
" Modular Representation Theory in the Non-Defining
Characteristic" Details can be found
on the www at http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programs/ragapr.html.
 Please pass on this information to anyone
you think might be interested in attending.
     Speakers :
   M Broue : On some conjectures about
modular representations of finite reductive
groups in non-defining characteristics

M Cabanes : On blocks and twisted induction
for finite reductive groups.

and virtual relative projectivity.

Algebras and q-Schur algebras.

characters and the shape of the decomposition
matrix

generalised q-Schur algebras.
 R GuralnicK : Low-dimensional
cross-characteristic representations

 G Malle : d-Harish Chandra series for ordinary
characters and Harish-Chandra series for 
modular characters.

 J Michel : Endomorphisms of Deligne Lusztig
varieties and cyclotomic Hecke algebras
 J Rickard : Alvis-Curtis duality in non-defining
characteristic.
