Minor handling/shelf wear ; This book offers a clear and insightful introduction to the representation theory of real semisimple Lie groups, guided by detailed examples rather than abstract generalities. Part of the Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics and Physics series, this volume makes a complex subject more approachable by grounding theory in concrete cases, including SL (2, R) and other key groups. Ideal for advanced students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics, it serves both as a self-contained introduction and a valuable reference. ; 15.7x23.3x4.8cm; xvii,773 pages.

About this title

Synopsis

In this classic work, Anthony W. Knapp offers a survey of representation theory of semisimple Lie groups in a way that reflects the spirit of the subject and corresponds to the natural learning process. This book is a model of exposition and an invaluable resource for both graduate students and researchers. Although theorems are always stated precisely, many illustrative examples or classes of examples are given. To support this unique approach, the author includes for the reader a useful 300-item bibliography and an extensive section of notes.

About the Author

Anthony W. Knapp is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, State University of New York at Stony Brook. The author of numerous books, he is the former editor of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
