Beschreibung

Paperback. "The book is largely self-contained.There is a nice introduction to symplectic geometry and a charming exposition of equivariant K-theory. Both are enlivened by examples related to groups.An attractive feature is the attempt to convey some informal 'wisdom' rather than only the precise definitions. As a number of results [are] due to the authors, one finds some of the original excitement. This is the only available introduction to geometric representation theory.it has already proved successful in introducing a new generation to the subject." (Bulletin of the AMS) This volume provides an overview of modern advances in representation theory from a geometric standpoint. The techniques developed are quite general and can be applied to other areas such as quantum groups, affine Lie groups, and quantum field theory. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
