MATHEMATICS RESEARCH AREAS

GOETZ PFEIFFER is interested in finite groups, representation theory, computational group theory, algebraic combinatorics and semigroups. He has participated in the development of the GAP system for computational group theory. He is one of the authors of the CHEVIE package for generic character tables of finite groups of Lie type and associated structures like Weyl groups and Hecke algebras. He has co-authored a book about the representation theory of finite Coxeter groups and the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebras. He has developed a GAP package for structural investigations of finite monoids. Currently, he is working on algorithms for descent algebras of finite Coxeter groups.
