K-Theory and Representation Theory

Auteur
Roger Plymen is Emeritus Professor at Manchester University and Visiting Professor at Southampton University. He recently published 'The Great Prime Number Race' (2020). His paper from 1983, The Dirac Operator and the Principal Series for Complex Semisimple Lie Groups, co-authored by Michael G. Penington, was a springboard for several of the developments in this book. Mehmet Haluk engün is Senior Lecturer at University of Sheffield. Originally from Istanbul, Dr. engün's mathematical trajectory took him to Madison, Essen, Barcelona, Bonn, Warwick and finally Sheffield. An algebraic number theorist by training, Dr. engün's recent research has focused on bringing tools and ideas from C*-algebras and Noncommutative Geometry to the theory of automorphic forms and the Langlands Programme.

"This book provides a tool-kit for the advanced study of symmetry, one of the most important concepts in mathematics and physics. Full of detailed examples, it discusses some of the most exciting interactions between operator algebras and representation theory, at a level suited to PhD students and young researchers"--
