Representation Theory and Noncommutative Harmonic Analysis II: Homogeneous Spaces, Representations and Special Functions (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 2)

Two surveys introducing readers to the subjects of harmonic analysis on semi-simple spaces and group theoretical methods, and preparing them for the study of more specialised literature. This book will be very useful to students and researchers in mathematics, theoretical physics and those chemists dealing with quantum systems.
