對(duì)齊性空間的研究使我們對(duì)微分幾何和李群有了更深的了解。例如,在幾何方面,一般性的定理和性質(zhì)對(duì)于齊性空間也都成立,并且在這個(gè)架構(gòu)上通常更容易理解和證明。在李群方面,相當(dāng)多的分析或者開始于或者歸結(jié)到齊性空間(通常是對(duì)稱空間)上。多年來,對(duì)很多數(shù)學(xué)家來說,這本經(jīng)典著作已經(jīng)是、也會(huì)繼續(xù)是這方面資料的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來源。 作者從對(duì)微分幾何的一個(gè)簡潔、自足的介紹開始,然后是對(duì)李群理論基礎(chǔ)的細(xì)心處理,其陳述方式自1962年以來成為許多后續(xù)作者所采用的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)方式。這為引進(jìn)和研究對(duì)稱空間創(chuàng)造了條件,這是本書的核心部分。本書的結(jié)尾則利用C上單純李代數(shù)的 Killing-Cartan 分類和 R上單純李代數(shù)的 Cartan分類,并按照 Victor Kac 的方法對(duì)對(duì)稱空間進(jìn)行了分類。 每章后都配有內(nèi)容廣泛的非常有用的習(xí)題,且書后附有全部問題的解答或提示。本書中,作者做了一些修正,并添加了一些有益的注記和有用的參考文獻(xiàn)。
