Representation Theory: Selected Papers (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Series Number 69)

The Unifying Theme Of This Collection Of Papers By The Very Creative Russian Mathematician I. M. Gelfand And His Co-workers Is The Representation Theory Of Groups And Lattices. Two Of The Papers Were Inspired By Application To Theoretical Physics; The Others Are Pure Mathematics Though All The Papers Will Interest Mathematicians At Quite Opposite Ends Of The Subject. Dr. G. Segal And Professor C-m. Ringel Have Written Introductions To The Papers Which Explain The Background, Put Them In Perspective And Make Them Accessible To Those With No Specialist Knowledge In The Area. I.m. Gelfand ...
