The representation theory of locally compact groups has been vigorously developed in the past twenty-five years or so; of the various branches of this theory one of the most attractive and formidable is the representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups which to a great extent is the creation of a single man: Harish-Chandra. The chief objective of the present volume and its immediate successor is to provide a reasonably self-contained introduction to Harish-Chandra's theory. We have made an effort to give full details and complete proofs of the theorems on which the theory rests. There are a variety of Examples scattered throughout the text; the reader if he is so inclined can view them as exercises ad libitum. The Appendices to the text collect certain ancillary results which will be used on and off in the systematic exposition. ; Die Grundlehren Der Mathematichen Wissenschaften in Einzeldarstellungen; Vol. 188; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xvi 529 pages .
