The aim of this monograph is to give an overview of various classes of in?ni- dimensional Lie groups and their applications, mostly in Hamiltonian - chanics, ?uid dynamics, integrable systems, and complex geometry. We have chosen to present the unifying ideas of the theory by concentrating on speci?c typesandexamplesofin?nite-dimensionalLiegroups. Ofcourse,theselection of the topics is largely in?uenced by the taste of the authors, but we hope thatthisselectioniswideenoughtodescribevariousphenomenaarisinginthe geometry of in?nite-dimensional Lie groups and to convince the reader that they are appealing objects to study from both purely mathematical and more applied points of view.

Reviews for The Geometry of Infinite-Dimensional Groups
From the reviews: The book under review is a welcome addition to the literature on infinite-dimensional Lie groups. ... the present monograph is to `present the unifying ideas of the theory by concentrating on specific types and examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups', in the authors' own words. The groups discussed here can be divided roughly into ... Read more
