Editorial Review Product Description Blending algebra, analysis, and topology, the study of compact Lie groups is one of the most beautiful areas of mathematics and a key stepping stone to the theory of general Lie groups. Assuming no prior knowledge of Lie groups, this book covers the structure and representation theory of compact Lie groups. Coverage includes the construction of the Spin groups, Schur Orthogonality, the Peter-Weyl Theorem, the Plancherel Theorem, the Maximal Torus Theorem, the Commutator Theorem, the Weyl Integration and Character Formulas, the Highest Weight Classification, and the Borel-Weil Theorem. The book develops the necessary Lie algebra theory with a streamlined approach focusing on linear Lie groups. Customer Reviews (1)

Does not deformation retract onto Munkres et al.
An introduction well worth reading In chapter 0, the author introduces the fundamental concepts in topology with a discussion of the homoemorphism problem. Confining attention to three dimensions and less, the author does mention the impossibility of solving the problem in dimensions greater than or equal to four. He then gives an overview of open and closed sets, continuous functions, identification spaces, and elementary homotopy theory. The building blocks of the main objects he considers in the book, namely simplicial complexes, are discussed in detail. The Haupvermutung is briefly discussed, and a full proof, due to E.E. Moise, of the Jordan curve theorem is given. The proof is the first example of the general approach that the author takes in the book, namely of reducing general topology to combinatorial topology. A brief introduction to algorithms is given, and the author introduces the group theory needed for the rest of the book. Since he is taking an historical approach in this book, the author begins the study of surfaces with the study of Riemann surfaces. He motivates the ideas of Riemann surfaces, such as branched coverings of the 2-sphere, very nicely, and gives a very understandable theorem for surfaces is proved in detail. In addition, the concept of a universal covering space is described beautifully, and the author shows how to obtain it for orientable surfaces of genus greater than one. The author also gives a brief taste of Fuchsian groups. Chapter 2 is devoted completely to the group theory of graphs, as a warm up to the study of the fundamental group in the next chapter. The fundamental group is defined to be an equivalence class of maps, and with the exception of the circle, it is calculated using deformation retraction and the Seifert-Van Kampen theorem. The fundamental group of complexes are then calculated in chapter 4, using first a method due to Poincare, and then directly. Some knot theory is introduced, and the Wirtinger presentation of knot groups is discussed. Homology theory is presented in chapter 5 as an abelianization of the fundamental group, and the abelianization is shown to be independent of the presentation of the fundamental group. The author does not spend much time in homology, arguing (correctly) that in dimensions less than or equal to three the fundemental group contains all the information obtained from homology. The study of curves on surfaces is the subject of chapter 6, with the contractibility problem studied first using Dehn's algorithm. Some methods for "simplifying" simple curves on closed orientable surfaces by homeomorphisms are also discussed. These techniques could be considered an elementary warm-up to the handle calculus procedures done in higher-dimensional topology. The physicist-string-theorist reader will appreciate the discussion of the mapping class group of the torus. All of chapter 7 is devoted to knot theory, and this subject, now of enormous importance in physics and computational biology, is treated in great detail here. The braid group is defined, and Artin's solution of the word problem is given. A very short overview of 3-dimensional manifolds is given in chapter 8, wherein the important concept of a Heegaard splitting is discussed, along with other methods for constructing 3-manifolds. The recognition problem for the 3-sphere, and the famous Poincare conjecture, are mentioned, and the author outlines one method, called shelling a simplicial decomposition, for recoginizing a 3-sphere. He shows however the existence of an unshellable triangulation of the 3-ball (Bing's cube). The author is incorrect though when he states that an algorithm for disproving the conjecture, i.e. an algorithm for enumerating all the 3-manifolds not homeomorphic to the 3-sphere, does not exist. Since the date of publication of this book, such an algorithm has been constructed by Rourke and Sanderson. The book ends with a discussion of unsolvable problems in combinatorial topology. This is an unusual topic in a book on topology, but given the importance currently of computer algorithms in the growing field of "computational topology" such an inclusion is appropriate and useful. The author discusses Turing machines, Church's thesis, and the Halting problem. The author discusses the unsolvable problems in group theory, and shows how the halting problem can be reduced to the word problem in groups. He leaves as an exercise, using the formalism developed in the chapter on presentations of groups, the problem of showing the homeomorphism problem is unsolvable for closed 4-manifolds.
