Description for The Classical Groups And K-theory
Hardback. Gives a comprehensive account of the basic algebraic properties of the classical groups over rings. This book also includes a revised and expanded version of Dieudonne's classical theory over division rings. It analyses congruence subgroups, normal subgroups and quotient groups, and investigates connections with linear and hermitian K-theory. Series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften. Num Pages: 593 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBG; PBM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1017.
It is a great satisfaction for a mathematician to witness the growth and expansion of a theory in which he has taken some part during its early years. When H. Weyl coined the words "classical groups", foremost in his mind were their connections with invariant theory, which his famous book helped to revive. Although his approach in that book was deliberately algebraic, his interest in these groups directly derived from his pioneering study of the special case in which the scalars are real or complex numbers, where for the first time he injected Topology into Lie theory. But ever since ... Read more
