Prerequisites: Functional analysis I and either Lie Groups I or Differential geometry I.
Contents: This course will contain three parts:
* Classification of simple Lie algebras via Dynkin diagrams
* Introduction to unitary representations of Lie groups. For compact groups: Peter-Weyl theory, weights and Weyl character formula. Theory for SL(2,R) and SL(2,C). Property (T) for SL(n,R)
* Introduction to the study of discrete subgroups of Lie groups, the quotient space, and some applications.
The goal is to acquire familiarity with the basic formalism and results concerning Lie groups and their unitary representations, and to apply these to the study of discrete subgroups, especially lattices, in Lie groups.
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Manfred Einsiedler
Assistant: Manuel Luethi
