A classic treatment of flows on homogeneous spaces from the acclaimed Annals of Mathematics Studies series
Princeton University Press is proud to have published the Annals of Mathematics Studies since 1940. One of the oldest and most respected series in science publishing, it has included many of the most important and influential mathematical works of the twentieth century. The series continues this tradition as Princeton University Press publishes the major works of the twenty-first century.
To mark the continued success of the series, all books are available in paperback and as ebooks.
In classical dynamics the action of a one-parameter group-time- on the phase space is one of the principal objects of study. Ergodic theory concerns itself with the case when the phase space is a measure spaces. The purpose of this chapter is to give an outline of the basic theorems in the theory of solvmanifolds.
