Book Synopsis Representation of Lie Groups and Special Functions by : N.Ja. Vilenkin
Download or read book Representation of Lie Groups and Special Functions written by N.Ja. Vilenkin. This book was released on 2013-04-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last of three major volumes which present a comprehensive treatment of the theory of the main classes of special functions from the point of view of the theory of group representations. This volume deals with q-analogs of special functions, quantum groups and algebras (including Hopf algebras), and (representations of) semi-simple Lie groups. Also treated are special functions of a matrix argument, representations in the Gel'fand-Tsetlin basis, and, finally, modular forms, theta-functions and affine Lie algebras. The volume builds upon results of the previous two volumes, and presents many new results. Subscribers to the complete set of three volumes will be entitled to a discount of 15%.
