Kac-Moody Groups, their Flag Varieties and Representation Theory by Shrawan Kumar

Kac-Moody Groups, their Flag Varieties and Representation Theory by Shrawan Kumar

Kac-Moody Lie algebras 9 were introduced in the mid-1960s independently by V. The theory has undergone tremendous developments in various directions and connections with diverse areas abound, including mathematical physics, so much so that this theory has become a stan dard tool in mathematics.

"Most of these topics appear here for the first time in book formMany of them are interesting even in the classical case of semi-simple algebraic groups. Some appendices recall useful results from other areas, so the work may be considered self-contained, although some familiarity with semi-simple Lie algebras or algebraic groups is helpful. It is clear that this book is a valuable reference for all those interested in flag varieties and representation theory in the semi-simple or Kac-Moody case."

—MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

"A lot of different topics are treated in this monumental work. . . . many of the topics of the book will be useful for those only interested in the finite-dimensional case. The book is self contained, but is on the level of advanced graduate students. . . . For the motivated reader who is willing to spend considerable time on the material, the book can be a gold mine.
