This book explores some basic roles of Lie groups in
linear analysis, with particular emphasis on the generalizations of
the Fourier transform and the study of partial differential equations.
It began as lecture notes for a one-semester graduate course given by
the author in noncommutative harmonic analysis. It is a valuable
resource for both graduate students and faculty, and requires only a
background with Fourier analysis and basic functional analysis, plus the
first few chapters of a standard text on Lie groups.
The basic method of noncommutative harmonic analysis,
a generalization of Fourier analysis, is to synthesize operators on
a space on which a Lie group has a unitary representation from
operators on irreducible representation spaces. Though the general study
is far from complete, this book covers a great deal of the progress that
has been made on important classes of Lie groups.
Unlike many other books on harmonic analysis, this book focuses
on the relationship between harmonic analysis and partial
differential equations. The author considers many classical PDEs,
particularly boundary value problems for domains with simple shapes,
that exhibit noncommutative groups of symmetries. Also, the book
contains detailed work, which has not previously been published, on the
harmonic analysis of the Heisenberg group and harmonic analysis on
cones.
