Reviews & Endorsements
Presented in a clear, self-contained, and well-organized way, these introductory level lectures are highly recommended for individual or in-class use for acquiring basic knowledge of the groups \({\mathbf SU}(2)\), \({\mathbf SO}(3)\), \({\mathbf SL}(2, \mathbf R)\), and their function theories. Covering representations of \({\mathbf SU}(2)\), spherical harmonics on \(S_n\), representations of the group \({\mathbf SL}(2, \mathbf R)\) and spherical functions with respect to its maximal compact subgroup \({\mathbf SO}(2)\), these lectures also take account of some well known functions exhibited as spherical or matrix-entry functions of unitary representations—for example, Jacobi polynomials and Legendre functions appear in this way for \({\mathbf SU}(2)\).
