9780821845554: Representation Theory: Topology and Applications (Contemporary Mathematics)

Synopsis

Articles in this volume cover topics related to representation theory of various algebraic objects such as algebraic groups, quantum groups, Lie algebras, (finite- and infinite-dimensional) finite groups, and quivers. Collected in one book, these articles show deep relations between all these aspects of Representation Theory, as well as the diversity of algebraic, geometric, topological, and categorical techniques used in studying representations. This book is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in representation theory.

Synopsis

For graduate students and professionals interested in algebraic topology and its application to various areas of mathematics, demonstrates a method of investigating the topology of smooth maps that produces a new series of knot invariants (which includes all known polynomial knot invariants), the Smale-Hirsch homotopy principle for the spaces of fu
