Developments and Trends in Infinite-Dimensional Lie Theory Summary

Developments and Trends in Infinite-Dimensional Lie Theory by Karl-Hermann Neeb

This collection of invited expository articles focuses on recent developments and trends in infinite-dimensional Lie theory, which has become one of the core areas of modern mathematics. The book is divided into three parts: infinite-dimensional Lie (super-)algebras, geometry of infinite-dimensional Lie (transformation) groups, and representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie groups.

Contributors: B. Allison, D. Beltita, W. Bertram, J. Faulkner, Ph. Gille, H. Gloeckner, K.-H. Neeb, E. Neher, I. Penkov, A. Pianzola, D. Pickrell, T.S. Ratiu, N.R. Scheithauer, C. Schweigert, V. Serganova, K. Styrkas, K. Waldorf, and J.A. Wolf.
