BIRKHAUSER Lie Theory Unitary Representations And Compactifications Of Symmetric Spaces 2004 Edition by Jean-Philippe Anker Bent Orsted
* Focuses on two fundamental questions related to semisimple Lie groups: the geometry of Riemannian symmetric spaces and their compactifications and branching laws for unitary representations* Wide applications of compactification techniques* Concrete examples and relevant exercises engage the reader* Knowledge of basic representation theory of Lie groups semisimple Lie groups and symmetric spaces is required Table of contents : * Preface * Ji: Introduction to Symmetric Spaces and Their Compactifications * Borel/Ji: Compactifications of Symmetric and Locally Symmetric Spaces * Kobayashi: Restrictions of Unitary Representations of Real Reductive Groups
