"This book is a straightforward introduction to symmetry methods; it is aimed at applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. The presentation is informal, with many worked examples. It is written at a level suitable for postgraduates and advanced undergraduates. The reade…

This book deals with Riemannian manifolds for which the nullity space of the curvature tensor has codimension two. These manifolds are "semi-symmetric spaces foliated by Euclidean leaves of codimension two" in the sense of Z.I. Szabo. The authors concentrate on the rich geometri…

"This book is an elementary self-contained introduction to some constructions of representation theory and related topics of differential geometry and analysis."--Page 4 de la couverture.
This text explores the geometry and analysis of higher rank analogues of the symmetric spaces introduced in volume one. To illuminate both the parallels and differences of the higher rank theory, the space of positive matrices is treated in a manner mirroring that of the upper-h…
