Title : "Brou&eacute;'s abelian defect group conjecture for the Conway's 3rd group Co_3."<br>

Abstract: In representation theory of finite groups,
especially in modular representation theory of finite
groups, one of th most interesting and important conjectures
is Brou&eacute;'s abelian defect group conjecture,
which was announced around late 1980's.
Here we will be discussing the conjecture
for one of the 26 sporadic finite simple groups,
namely, for the Conway's 3rd group Co_3.
