Lectures on Exceptional Lie Groups: 1996 (Chicago Lectures in Mathematics) - Tapa blanda

A collection of J. Frank Adams' lecture notes and papers on exceptional Lie groups, edited by Zafer Mahmud and Mamoru Mimura.

J. Frank Adams was internationally known and respected as one of the great algebraic topologists. Adams had long been fascinated with exceptional Lie groups, about which he published several papers, and he gave a series of lectures on the topic. The author's detailed lecture notes have enabled volume editors Zafer Mahmud and Mamoru Mimura to preserve the substance and character of Adams's work. Because Lie groups form a staple of most mathematics graduate students' diets, this work on exceptional Lie groups should appeal to many of them, as well as to researchers of algebraic geometry and topology. J. Frank Adams was Lowndean professor of astronomy and geometry at the University of Cambridge. The University of Chicago Press published his "Lectures on Lie Groups" and has reprinted his "Stable Homotopy and Generalized Homology." Zafer Mahmud is associate professor of mathematics at Kuwait University. Mamoru Mimura is professor of mathematics at Okayama University. "Chicago Lectures in Mathematics Series"
