The Mathematical Legacy of Harish-Chandra: A Celebration of Representation Theory and Harmonic Analysis : An Ams Special Session Honoring the Memory ...

Nineteen papers in honor of the 75th anniversary of mathematician Harish-Chandra's birth presented at the January 1998 special session. The contributions range from expository and historical surveys to original research articles. Some specific topics include unitary representations and Osterwalder-Schrader duality, Bessel functions on boundary orbits and singular homomorphic representations, and holomorphic double fibration transforms. Also included are four talks given at Harish-Chandra's 1983 memorial service by mathematical colleagues. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
