Familiarity with the theory of semisimple Lie groups is assumed, as is familiarity with algebraic groups defined over the rational numbers in later parts of the book, although most of the pertinent material is recalled as presented. Otherwise, the book is a self-contained reference aimed at graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the applications of Lie theory and representation theory to diverse fields of mathematics."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 423-450)-and indexes Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Symmetric spaces.
