The McKay conjecture is the origin of the counting conjectures in
the representation theory of finite groups. This book gives a
comprehensive introduction to these conjectures, while assuming
minimal background knowledge. Character theory is explored in
detail along the way, from the very basics to the state of the art.
This includes not only older theorems, but some brand new ones too.
New, elegant proofs bring the reader up to date on progress in the
field, leading to the final proof that if all finite simple groups
satisfy the inductive McKay condition, then the McKay conjecture is
true. Open questions are presented throughout the book, and each
chapter ends with a list of problems, with varying degrees of
difficulty.
