An Introduction to Harmonic Analysis on Semisimple Lie Groups

by V.S. Varadarajan

Book Overview

Now in paperback, this graduate-level textbook is an excellent introduction to the representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups. Professor Varadarajan emphasizes the development of central themes in the context of special examples. He begins with an account of compact groups and discusses the Harish-Chandra modules of SL(2, R) and SL(2, C).
