Fuchsian Groups: Chicago Lectures in Mathematics
Autor Svetlana Katoken Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 1992
This introductory text provides a thoroughly modern treatment of Fuchsian groups that addresses both the classical material and recent developments in the field. A basic example of lattices in semisimple groups, Fuchsian groups have extensive connections to the theory of a single complex variable, number theory, algebraic and differential geometry, topology, Lie theory, representation theory, and group theory.
