Semisimple Lie groups, and their algebraic analogues over fields other than the reals, are of fundamental importance in geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics. Three independent, self-contained volumes, under the general title of Lie Theory, feature survey work and original results by well-established researchers in key areas of semisimple Lie theory.
Harmonic Analysis on Symmetric Spaces - General Plancherel Theorems presents extensive surveys by E.P. van den Ban, H. Schlichtkrull, and P. Delorme of the spectacular progress over the past decade in deriving the Plancherel theorem on reductive symmetric spaces. Well suited for both graduate students and researchers in semisimple Lie theory and neighboring fields, possibly even mathematical cosmology, it provides a broad, clearly focused examination of semisimple Lie groups and their integral importance and applications to research in many branches of mathematics and physics. Knowledge of basic representation theory of Lie groups as well as familiarity with semisimple Lie groups, symmetric spaces, and parabolic subgroups is required.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is a remarkable and highly commendable effort by three leading experts, Erik P. van den Ban, Henrik Schlichtkrull, and Patrick Delorme, to survey the fascinating progress made in the last decade on the Plancherel theorem for reductive symmetric spaces."
