Book Description:
|
This book proceeds beyond the representation theory of compact Lie groups (which is the basis of many texts), offering a carefully chosen range of material designed to give readers the bigger picture. The text explores compact Lie groups through a number of proofs, and culminates in a "topics" section that takes the Frobenius-Schur duality between the representation theory of the symmetric group and the unitary groups as a unifying theme.
