Topological Transformation Groups (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Deane Montgomery (PDF)

Description

An advanced monograph on the subject of topological transformation groups, this volume summarizes important research conducted during a period of lively activity in this area of mathematics. The book is of particular note because it represents the culmination of research by authors Deane Montgomery and Leo Zippin, undertaken in collaboration with Andrew Gleason of Harvard University, that led to their solution of a well-known mathematical conjecture, Hilbert’s Fifth Problem. The treatment begins with an examination of topological spaces and groups and proceeds to locally compact groups and groups with no small subgroups. Subsequent chapters address approximation by Lie groups and transformation groups, concluding with an exploration of compact transformation groups.

⭐This monograph is the culmination of the research which led to the solution of Hilbert’s fifth problem. If you look on wikipedia, you may see something like this.”The first major result was that of John von Neumann in 1933, for compact groups. The locally compact abelian group case was solved in 1934 by Lev Pontryagin. The final resolution, at least in this interpretation of what Hilbert meant, came with the work of Andrew Gleason, Deane Montgomery and Leo Zippin in the 1950s.”This 1955 book, ”

⭐”, is by two of those authors, Deane Montgomery and Leo Zippin. When a big maths conjecture becomes a major project, and the problem is finally solved, it’s good to have a monograph on your shelf to record the outcome of the research project. This reminds me of the book ”

⭐” by Morgan and Tian, which summarizes the outcome of the research into the Poincaré conjecture.This book is organized into 6 chapters.1. Topological spaces and groups (47 pages)2. Locally compact groups (58 pages)3. Groups with no small subgroups (47 pages)4. Approximation by Lie groups (42 pages)5. Transformation groups (34 pages)6. Compact transformation groups (44 pages)Roughly speaking, Hilbert’s 5th problem required proof that continuous groups are analytic. There was a second part which said that continuous transformation groups are analytic transformation groups. The methods used combine differential geometry with algebra, as one might expect!
