Synopsis

A conference on Harmonic Analysis on Reductive Groups was held at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine from July 31 to August 11, 1989. The stated goal of the conference was to explore recent advances in harmonic analysis on both real and p-adic groups. It was the first conference since the AMS Summer Sym­ posium on Harmonic Analysis on Homogeneous Spaces, held at Williamstown, Massachusetts in 1972, to cover local harmonic analysis on reductive groups in such detail and to such an extent. While the Williamstown conference was longer (three weeks) and somewhat broader (nilpotent groups, solvable groups, as well as semisimple and reductive groups), the structure and timeliness of the two meetings was remarkably similar. The program of the Bowdoin Conference consisted of two parts. First, there were six major lecture series, each consisting of several talks addressing those topics in harmonic analysis on real and p-adic groups which were the focus of intensive research during the previous decade. These lectures began at an introductory level and advanced to the current state of research. Sec­ ond, there was a series of single lectures in which the speakers presented an overview of their latest research.

About this title

Synopsis

Expanded from their presentation to a conference at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, July to August 1989, the 17 papers discuss most of the recent developments in the harmonic analysis of both real and p-adic groups, for mathematics graduates and researchers working in representation theory. Among the topics are handling the inverse Fourier trans
