Book Description

In 1900, David Hilbert asked whether each locally euclidean Topological Group admits a Lie group structure. This was the fifth of his famous 23 questions which foreshadowed much of the mathematical creativity of the twentieth century.

It required half a century of effort by several generations of eminent mathematicians until it was settled in the affirmative. These efforts resulted over time in the Peter-Weyl Theorem, the Pontryagin-van Kampen Duality Theorem for locally compact abelian groups, and finally the solution of Hilbert 5 and the structure theory of locally compact groups, through the combined work of Andrew Gleason, Kenkichi Iwasawa, Deane Montgomery, and Leon Zippin.

For a presentation of Hilbert 5 see the 2014 book "Hilbert's Fifth Problem and Related Topics" by the winner of a 2006 Fields Medal and 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, Terence Tao.

• Lie Groups and Lie Algebras (Pavel Etingof)

  This book covers from basic definitions of Lie Groups to the classification of finite-dimensional representations of semisimple Lie Algebras. Lie theory, in its own right, has become regarded as a classical branch of mathematics.

• Metric Lie Groups (Enrico Le Donne)

  Present Carnot-Carathéodory spaces from the perspective of Lie Groups. Its main objective is to illustrate how these non-smooth geometries manifest in various mathematical domains, including metric geometry and geometric group theory.

• Orbital Integrals on Reductive Lie Groups and Their Algebras

  This book is to present a complete course on global analysis topics and establish some orbital applications of the integration on topological groups and their algebras to harmonic analysis and induced representations in representation theory.

• Lie Groups (Daniel Bump)

  This book proceeds beyond the representation theory of compact Lie Groups and offers a carefully chosen range of material designed to give readers the bigger picture. It explores compact Lie groups through a number of proofs.

• Topology: A Categorical Approach (Tai-Danae Bradley, et al)

  A graduate-level textbook that presents basic topology from the perspective of category theory. Many graduate students are familiar with the ideas of point-set topology and they are ready to learn something new about them.

• Introduction to Topology (Bert Mendelson, et al.)

  This concise book offers an ideal introduction to the fundamentals of topology. The book's principal aim is to provide a simple, thorough survey of elementary topics in the study of collections of objects, or sets, that possess a mathematical structure.

• Elementary Topology: Problem Textbook (O.Ya.Viro, et al.)

  This textbook on elementary topology contains a detailed introduction to general topology and an introduction to algebraic topology via its most classical and elementary segment centered at the notions of fundamental group and covering space.

• Topology for the Working Mathematician (Michael Muger)

  Topology is a branch of pure mathematics that deals with the abstract relationships found in geometry and analysis. Written with the mathematician, this book provides a user-friendly, clear, and concise introduction to this fascinating area of mathematics.

• Topology without Tears (Sidney A. Morris)

  General topology is the branch of topology dealing with the basic set-theoretic definitions and constructions used in topology. The aim of this is to provide a thorough grouding of general topology. It offers an ideal introduction to the fundamentals of topology.

• Real Variables with Basic Metric Space Topology (Robert B. Ash)

  Designed for a first course in real variables, this text presents the fundamentals for more advanced mathematical work, particularly in the areas of complex variables, measure theory, differential equations, functional analysis, and probability.

• Introduction to Topology (Renzo Cavalieri)

  This introductory topology book requires only a knowledge of calculus and a general familiarity with set theory and logic. Clear organization, worked examples, and concise writing style support a thorough understanding of basic topological principles.
