Description for Cohomological Induction and Unitary Representations (PMS-45), Volume 45
Hardback. Offers a systematic treatment of the development and use of cohomological induction to construct unitary representations. This book develops the necessary background in representation theory and includes an introductory chapter of motivation, a treatment of the "translation principle"�', and four appendices on algebra and analysis. Series: Princeton Mathematical Series. Num Pages: 968 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 57. Weight in Grams: 1571.
This book offers a systematic treatment--the first in book form--of the development and use of cohomological induction to construct unitary representations. George Mackey introduced induction in 1950 as a real analysis construction for passing from a unitary representation of a closed subgroup of a locally compact group to a unitary representation of the whole group. Later a parallel construction using complex analysis and its associated co-homology theories grew up as a result of work by Borel, Weil, Harish-Chandra, Bott, Langlands, Kostant, and Schmid. Cohomological induction, introduced by Zuckerman, is an algebraic analog that is technically more manageable than the complex-analysis ... Read more

Reviews for Cohomological Induction and Unitary Representations (PMS-45), Volume 45
Winner of the 1996 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Mathematics, Association of American Publishers "This book is a thorough and excellent presentation of the 'cohomological' approach to the construction and classification of irreducible representations of semisimple real Lie groups."
