About this title

Synopsis

The present book is intended as a textbook and reference work on three topics in the title. Together with a volume in progress on "Groups and Geometric Analysis" it supersedes my "Differential Geometry and Symmetric Spaces," published in 1962. Since that time several branches of the subject, particularly the function theory on symmetric spaces, have developed substantially. I felt that an expanded treatment might now be useful.

From the Publisher

The author was awarded "The Steele Prize" of the American Mathematical Society 1988 for this book, together with an accompanying volume, "Groups and Geometric Analysis" Academic Press, 1984
