Projective geometry, and the Cayley-Klein geometries embedded into it, were originated in the 19th century. It is one of the foundations of algebraic geometry and has many applications to differential geometry.

The book presents a systematic introduction to projective geometry as based on the notion of vector space, which is the central topic of the first chapter. The second chapter covers the most important classical geometries which are systematically developed following the principle founded by Cayley and Klein, which rely on distinguishing an absolute and then studying the...

This is a quite extraordinary book on Lie groups and algebraic groups. Created from hectographed notes in Russian from Moscow University, which for many Soviet mathematicians have been something akin to a "bible," the book has been substantially extended and organized to develop the material through the posing of problems and to illustrate it through a wealth of examples. Several tables have never before been published, such as decomposition of representations into irreducible components. This will be especially helpful for physicists. The authors have managed to present some vast topics: the...
