Description

This book contains written versions of the lectures given at the PCMI Graduate Summer School on the representation theory of Lie groups. The volume begins with lectures by A. Knapp and P. Trapa outlining the state of the subject around the year 1975, specifically, 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. The clearly written articles present results to date, as follows: R. Zierau and L. Barchini discuss the construction of representations on Dolbeault cohomology spaces. D. Vogan describes the status of the Kirillov-Kostant “philosophy of coadjoint orbits” for unitary representations. K. Vilonen presents recent advances in the Beilinson-Bernstein theory of “localization”. And Jian-Shu Li covers Howe’s theory of “dual reductive pairs”. Each contributor to the volume presents the topics in a unique, comprehensive, and accessible manner geared toward advanced graduate students and researchers. Students should have completed the standard introductory graduate courses for full comprehension of the work. The book would also serve well as a supplementary text for a course on introductory infinite-dimensional representation theory.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review 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 About the Author Jeffrey Adams, University of Maryland, College Park.
