This volume contains the proceedings of the international conference Finite Simple Groups: Thirty Years of the Atlas and Beyond Celebrating the Atlases and Honoring John Conway, which was held from November 2-5, 2015, at Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. Classification of Finite Simple Groups, one of the most monumental accomplishments of modern mathematics, was announced in 1983 with the proof completed in 2004. Since then, it has opened up a new and powerful strategy to approach and resolve many previously inaccessible problems in group theory, number theory, combinatorics,...

Motivated by the maximal subgroup problem of the finite classical groups the authors begin the classification of imprimitive irreducible modules of finite quasisimple groups over algebraically closed fields $K$. A module of a group $G$ over $K$ is imprimitive, if it is induced from a module of a proper subgroup of $G$. The authors obtain their strongest results when ${
m char}(K) = 0$, although much of their analysis carries over into positive characteristic. If $G$ is a finite quasisimple group of Lie type, they prove that an imprimitive irreducible $KG$-module is Harish-Chandra induced....
