Representation Theory and Complex Analysis: Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Venice, Italy, June 10-17, 2004

by Michael Cowling, Edward Frenkel, Masaki Kashiwara

Six leading experts lecture on a wide spectrum of recent results on the subject of the title. They present a survey of various interactions between representation theory and harmonic analysis on semisimple groups and symmetric spaces, and recall the concept of amenability. They further illustrate how representation theory is related to quantum computing; and much more. Taken together, this volume provides both a solid reference and deep insights on current research activity.
