Causal Symmetric Spaces

by Gestur Olafsson, Joachim Hilgert, and Sigurdur Helgason

Published 1 January 1996

This text is intended to introduce researchers and graduate students with a solid background in Lie theory to the concepts of causal symmetric spaces. The authors intend also to make the basic results and their proofs available and to describe some important lines of research in the field. To date, results of recent studies considered "standard" by specialists have not been widely published. This book seeks to bring this information to students and researchers in geometry and analysis on causal symmetric spaces.
