Contains versions of the lectures given at the PCMI Graduate Summer School on the representation theory of Lie groups. The volume begins with the fundamental results of Harish-Chandra on the general structure of infinite-dimensional representations and the Langlands classification. Additional contributions outline developments in four of the most active areas of research over the past 20 years.
Recenzijos
Altogether, the volume brings a coherent description of an important and beautiful part of representation theory, which certainly will be of substantial use for postgraduate students and mathematicians interested in the area"". - European Mathematical Society Newsletter
