Representations of Algebras, Locally Compact Groups, Banach - Basic Representation Theory of Groups and Algebras

Zusammenfassung This is an all-encompassing and exhaustive exposition of the theory of infinite-dimensional Unitary Representations of Locally Compact Groups and its generalization to representations of Banach algebras. The presentation is detailed, accessible, and self-contained (except for some elementary knowle

Report

"The authors have succeeded admirably, and these two volumes are a pleasure to read as well as being a valuable reference.
[It] contains a valuable explanation of the relationship between representation theory and physics which every mathematician should be made aware of." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

"There are many helpful remarks and asides throughout the text as well as extensive exercises and historical discussions at the end of each chapter. These two volumes are a valuable addition to anyone's library as well as a pleasurable avenue to representation theory." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEW

"The work is a most authoritative account of representation theory and Mackey's theory; it will no doubt become the standard work of references in thefield for years to come." --MONATSHEFTE FUR MATHEMATIK

"These volumes have been prepared with great care. The exposition is clear and thorough." --AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY
