Beijing Lectures in Harmonic Analysis

چکیده
Chapter 4 is concerned with meromorphic continuation and examples of various Riemann surfaces, and Chapter 5 deals with Fuchsian groups. The chapter finishes with a proof of Hurwitz's theorem that a compact Riemann surface of genus g has at most 84(g—1) automorphisms, together with a discussion of possible equality. There are four appendices of which the first consists of a review in six pages of the basic theorems of complex analysis, mainly without proofs. The authors say that they had to ignore the connections with number theory and potential theory ' since there are excellent books on the subject'. Perhaps in future editions they might quote a book on each of these topics. They refer to books by Rankin and Schoeneberg in the index. I could not see there a reference to a book on potential theory although Farkas and Kra certainly contains something on the subject. The material is intended for undergraduates and long and detailed arguments leading to the proof of a simple theorem are avoided. There is no proof of the mapping theorem for domains or Riemann surfaces. It is a little irritating to see so many references to matters which have to be pursued outside this book, but it does enable one to learn a good deal of material, which could not otherwise have been included. The exposition is always clear. If a department with an algebraic or geometric flavour wished to introduce a second level course in complex analysis this would be a good book from which to select the material. There are many useful exercises, a very necessary index of symbols extended over two pages, an index of names and about fifty references. I enjoyed reading this book and expect others to do the same.

We shall give a lower estimate of harmonic functions of order greater than one in a half space, which generalize the result obtained by B. Ya. Levin in a half plane.

In the previous lectures, we studied harmonic analysis as a tool for analyzing structural properties of Boolean functions, and we developed some property testers as applications of this tool. In the next few lectures, we study applications in computational learning theory. Harmonic analysis turns out to be useful for designing and analyzing efficient learning algorithms under the uniform distri...
متن کاملHarmonic Analysis on Heisenberg Nilmanifolds
In these lectures we plan to present a survey of certain aspects of harmonic analysis on a Heisenberg nilmanifold Γ\Hn. Using Weil-Brezin-Zak transform we obtain an explicit decomposition of L(Γ\H) into irreducible subspaces invariant under the right regular representation of the Heisenberg group. We then study the Segal-Bargmann transform associated to the Laplacian on a nilmanifold and charac...

The aim of the present survey paper is to provide an accessible introduction to a new chapter of representation theory — harmonic analysis for noncommutative groups with infinite–dimensional dual space. I omitted detailed proofs but tried to explain the main ideas of the theory and its connections with other fields. The fact that irreducible representations of the groups in question depend on i...
