Produktbeschreibung

Many techniques in representation theory and algebra have been inspired by the great works of Issai Schur who passed away some 60 years ago. This volume is dedicated to his memory. This unified presentation consists of an extended biography of Schur-- -written in collaboration with some of his former students---as well as survey articles on Schur's legacy (Schur theory, functions, etc). Additionally, there are 25 articles covering a broad range of topics with extensions of representation theory to mathematical physics and geometry.

Rezensionen

"This book is dedicated to the memory of Issai Schur, one of the brilliant stars in mathematical heaven and an unsurpassed teacher. It is divided into two parts. In the first one among others reminiscences from students and members of Schurs family are presented, followed by a biographical sketch through letters and other documents and an extensive review of his lesser known contributions to analysis. The second part contains 13 contributions to representation theory. Schur proper field of research. . . Many of these articles are inspired by Schurs work showing how fertile his ideas are even [for] today."
