Description and Table of Contents

Description

* 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

Table of Contents

* Preface * Ji: Introduction to Symmetric Spaces and Their Compactifications * Borel/Ji: Compactifications of Symmetric and Locally Symmetric Spaces * Kobayashi: Restrictions of Unitary Representations of Real Reductive Groups
