Lie Theory: Unitary Representations and Compactifications of Symmetric Spaces by Jean-Philippe Anker
* Focuses on two fundamental questions related to semisimple Lie groups: the geometry of Riemannian symmetric spaces and their compactifications, and branching laws for unitary representations
* Wide applications of compactification techniques
* Concrete examples and relevant exercises engage the reader
* Knowledge of basic representation theory of Lie groups, semisimple Lie groups and symmetric spaces is required
