Opis

The aim of this book is to unite the seemingly disparate topics of Clifford algebras, analysis on manifolds, and harmonic analysis. The authors show how algebra, geometry, and differential equations play a more fundamental role in Euclidean Fourier analysis. They then link their presentation of the Euclidean theory naturally to the representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups.

Recenzje

"...contains a more-than-ample allotment of ideas and techniques that should be of great interest to a wide variety of analysts. The material itself is an attractive blend of algebra, analysis, and geometry. It is not particularly easy, but on the other hand, it is not impossibly difficult; and serious readers of this book should find it highly rewarding." Ray A. Kunze, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
