 | | Green was probably the first to realise the power of studying representation theory over complete discrete valuation rings and this work, together with that of two other papers in that period, provided the impetus for focussing attention on modules, in contrast to Brauer’s original character theoretic approach. |
 | | More recently, he has made substantial contributions to the study of representations of quantum groups via a relationship with the Hall algebras that he had studied earlier in his 1955 paper. |
 | | Green has written key papers on many other topics, including the converse to Brauer's induction theorem and modular representations of finite groups of Lie type, and he introduced the concepts of Mackey functors, the Green ring, and G-algebras. |
