Abstract

In this thesis we investigate the representation theory of the following classes of groups:- GL(m,q), SL(m,q), Sp(2m,q), [omega] (m,q) and their quotients by their centres. In the first part we prove the following theorem:-
THEOREM If G is a group of one of the above types, the only possible defect groups of G are the Sylow p-subgroup and the trivial subgroup.
We then use this to obtain a complete determination of the p-block structure in each case.
In the second part we construct and investigate the properties of a family of irreducible characters for the above groups.
