Roger Carter (2405.16520v1)

Abstract: Roger Carter (1934--2022) was a very well known mathematician working in algebra, representation theory and Lie theory. He spent most of his mathematical career in Warwick. Roger was a great communicator of mathematics: the clarity, precision and enthusiasm of his lectures delivered in his beautiful handwriting were hallmark features recalled by numerous students and colleagues. His books have been described as marvelous pieces of scholarship and service to the general mathematical community. We both met Roger early in our careers, and were encouraged and influenced by him~ -- ~and his lovely sense of humour. This text is our tribute, both to his mathematical achievements, and to his kindness and generosity towards his students, his colleagues, his collaborators, and his family.
