This book starts with the basic theory of topological groups, harmonic analysis, and unitary representations. It then concentrates on geometric structure, harmonic analysis, and unitary representation theory in commutative spaces. Those spaces form a simultaneous generalization …

Geometrization of 3-orbifolds of cyclic type
by Boileau, Michel, Porti, Joan
fromAstérisque
In this book, the author's goal is to provide an introduction to some of the analytic underpinnings for the geometry of anti-self duality in 4-dimensions. Anti-self duality is rather special to 4-dimensions and the imposition of this condition on curvatures of connections on vec…

""This introductory text develops the geometry of n-dimensional oriented surfaces in Rn+1. By viewing such surfaces as level sets of smooth functions, the author is able to introduce global ideas early without the need for preliminary chapters developing sophisticated machinery.…
The aim of this monograph is to present a self-contained introduction to some geometric and analytic aspects of the Yamabe problem. The book also describes a wide range of methods and techniques that can be successfully applied to nonlinear differential equations in particularly…
Differential geometry and analytic group theory are among the most powerful tools in mathematical physics. This volume presents review articles on a wide variety of applications of these techniques in classical continuum physics, gauge theories, quantization procedures, and the …
