Lie Groups (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is intended for a one year graduate course on Lie groups and Lie algebras. The author proceeds beyond the representation theory of compact Lie groups (which is the basis of many texts) and provides a carefully chosen range of material to give the student the bigger picture. For compact Lie groups, the Peter-Weyl theorem, conjugacy of maximal tori (two proofs), Weyl character formula and more are covered. The book continues with the study of complex analytic groups, then general noncompact Lie groups, including the Coxeter presentation of the Weyl group, the Iwasawa and Bruhat decompositions, Cartan decomposition, symmetric spaces, Cayley transforms, relative root systems, Satake diagrams, extended Dynkin diagrams and a survey of the ways Lie groups may be embedded in one another. The book culminates in a ``topics'' section giving depth to the student's understanding of representation theory, taking the Frobenius-Schur duality between the representation theory of the symmetric group and the unitary groups as a unifying theme, with many applications in diverse areas such as random matrix theory, minors of Toeplitz matrices, symmetric algebra decompositions, Gelfand pairs, Hecke algebras, representations of finite general linear groups and the cohomology of Grassmannians and flag varieties.

Daniel Bump is Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. His research is in automorphic forms, representation theory and number theory. He is a co-author of GNU Go, a computer program that plays the game of Go. His previous books include Automorphic Forms and Representations (Cambridge University Press 1997) and Algebraic Geometry (World Scientific 1998).

Rezensionen

"This is the second edition of Bump's successful graduate textbook 'Lie Groups' that first appeared in 2004. ... this book is even more highly recommended than its first edition. It deserves a place on the shelves of every physicists, mathematicians and graduate or PhD students of physics or mathematics who are interested in Lie group theory." (Árpád Kurusa, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 82 (1-2), 2016)

"This is a graduate math level text. Concise with lots of proofs. The chapters are short enough to read in one sitting. ... I was asked to look for books on this topic. It was challenging to search for material with this title. This was the best book that I could find. I look forward to exploring this topic further." (Mary Anne, Cats and Dogs with Data, maryannedata.com, April, 2014)

"The book begins with a detailed explanation of the basic facts. ... It contains a discussion of very nontrivial modern applications of Lie group theory in other areas of mathematics. ... The text is very interesting and is superior to other textbooks on Lie group theory." (Dmitri Artamonov, zbMATH, Vol. 1279, 2014)

"This second edition of a successful graduate textbook and reference is now divided in four parts. ... the book under review is the one every one of us must have on its desk or night table. ... this is a well-organized book with clear and well-established goals, taking the interested reader to the frontiers of today's research." (Felipe Zaldivar, MAA Reviews, December, 2013)
