Overview

Introduces uniform constructions of most of the known compactifications of symmetric and locally symmetric spaces, with emphasis on their geometric and topological structures

Relatively self-contained reference aimed at graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the applications of Lie theory and representation theory to analysis, number theory, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology

Reviews

From the reviews: <p> In the book under review the authors pursue three chief goals: to give a comprehensive overview of existing compactifications a ] to explain the relations among them and to provide a uniform construction. a ] The style is user-friendly a ] . It can be highly recommended and will be very useful to anyone, graduate student or research mathematician, interested in the geometry and topology of (locally) symmetric spaces.
