Ali Baklouti - Böcker

This book presents a number of important contributions focusing on harmonic analysis and representation theory of Lie groups. All were originally presented at the 5th Tunisian–Japanese conference “Geometric and Harmonic Analysis on Homogeneous Spaces and Applications”, which was held at Mahdia in Tunisia from 17 to 21 December 2017 and was dedicated to the memory of the brilliant Tunisian mathematician Majdi Ben Halima. The peer-reviewed contributions selected for publication have been modified and are, without exception, of a standard equivalent to that in leading mathematical periodicals. Highlighting the close links between group representation theory and harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces and numerous mathematical areas, such as number theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, operator algebra, partial differential equations and mathematical physics, the book is intended for researchers and students working in the area of commutative and non-commutative harmonic analysis as well as group representations.

The aim of this conference and the five preceding Tunisian-Japanese meetings was to keep up with the active development of representation theory interrelated with various other mathematical fields, such as number theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, operator algebra, partial differential equations, and mathematical physics.

Lie group representation theory and harmonic analysis on Lie groups and their homogeneousspaces form a significant area of mathematical research. Interest in these areas begansoon after World War II and has gained much strength since then. These areas are interrelated withvarious other mathematical fields such as number theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry,operator algebra, partial differential equations, and mathematical physics. Keeping up with the fastdevelopment of this exciting area of research, Ali Baklouti (University of Sfax) and Takaaki Nomura(Kyushu University) launched a series of seminars on the topic.The main focus of these seminars was in the area of harmonic analysis, Lie theory, geometry andrepresentation theory. Many experts from both countries have beeninvolved in running this seminar and have contributed greatly to making seminars successful.This has been a major incentive for both Ali Baklouti and Hideyuki Ishi(Osaka University) to continue the organization of these meetings which aim at exploring topics suchas commutative harmonic analysis (Fourieranalysis on Euclidean spaces), analysis of homogeneous spaces, uncertainty principles, and geometricanalysis and some of their interactions with operator algebras.

This book contains the latest developments of the theory of discontinuous groups acting on homogenous spaces, from basic concepts to a comprehensive exposition. It develops the newest approaches and methods in the deformation theory of topological modules and unitary representations and focuses on the geometry of discontinuous groups of solvable Lie groups and their compact extensions. It also presents proofs of recent results, computes fundamental examples, and serves as an introduction and reference for students and experienced researchers in Lie theory, discontinuous groups, and deformation (and moduli) spaces.

This project is a second edition of the textbook: Deformation Theory of Discontinuous Groups (De Gruyter 2022). It is devoted to studying various geometric and topological concepts related to the deformation and moduli spaces of discontinuous group actions, and building some interrelationships between these concepts. It presents full proofs of recent results, computes fundamental examples, and serves as an introduction and reference for students and researchers in Lie theory, discontinuous groups, and deformation spaces. A part of the first edition, the setting of affine actions is introduced and new ideas and methods are developed with full proofs. The setting of compact extensions is also re-written with new approaches and proofs. It also contains the most recent developments of the theory, extending from basic concepts to a comprehensive exposition, and highlighting the newest approaches and methods in deformation theory. It also includes the most recent solutions to many open questions over the last decades and brings related newest research results in this area. For specialists and beginners in deformation theory, the settings of Heisenberg and Threadlike cases are differently re-written with full details and proofs.

This book includes selected papers presented at the MIMS (Mediterranean Institute for the Mathematical Sciences) - GGTM (Geometry and Topology Grouping for the Maghreb) conference, held in memory of Mohammed Salah Baouendi, a most renowned figure in the field of several complex variables, who passed away in 2011. All research articles were written by leading experts, some of whom are prize winners in the fields of complex geometry, algebraic geometry and analysis. The book offers a valuable resource for all researchers interested in recent developments in analysis and geometry.

This book provides the latest competing research results on non-commutative harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces with many applications. It also includes the most recent developments on other areas of mathematics including algebra and geometry.Lie group representation theory and harmonic analysis on Lie groups and on their homogeneous spaces form a significant and important area of mathematical research. These areas are interrelated with various other mathematical fields such as number theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, operator algebra, partial differential equations and mathematical physics. Keeping up with the fast development of this exciting area of research, Ali Baklouti (University of Sfax) and Takaaki Nomura (Kyushu University) launched a series of seminars on the topic, the first of which took place on November 2009 in Kerkennah Islands, the second in Sousse  on December 2011, and the third in Hammamet on December 2013.The last seminar, which took place December 18th to 23rd 2015 in Monastir, Tunisia, has promoted further research in all the fields where the main focus was in the area of Analysis, algebra and geometry and on topics of joint collaboration of many teams in several corners. Many experts from both countries have been involved.
