Product Description: This two-part survey provides a short review of the classical part of representation theory, carefully exposing the structure of the theory without overwhelming readers with details, and deals with representations of Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebra...read more

Product Description: Two surveys introducing readers to the subjects of harmonic analysis on semi-simple spaces and group theoretical methods, and preparing them for the study of more specialised literature. This book will be very useful to students and researchers in mathematics, theoretical physics and those chemists dealing with quantum systems...read more

Product Description: The orbit method influenced the development of several areas of mathematics in the second half of the 20th century and remains a useful and powerful tool in such areas as Lie theory, representation theory, integrable systems, complex geometry, and mathematical physics...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Part I of this book is a short review of the classical part of representation theory. The main chapters of representation theory are discussed: representations of finite and compact groups, finite- and infinite-dimensional representations of Lie groups...read more

Product Description: Even the simplest mathematical abstraction of the phenomena of reality- the real line-can be regarded from different points of view by different mathematical disciplines. For example, the algebraic approach to the study of the real line involves describing its properties as a set to whose elements we can apply" operations," and obtaining an algebraic model of it on the basis of these properties, without regard for the topological properties...read more
