The Geometry of Heisenberg Groups : With Applications in Signal Theory, Optics, Quantization, and Field Quantization Hardback
by Ernst Binz, Sonja Pods
Part of the Mathematical Surveys and Monographs series
Hardback
Description
The three-dimensional Heisenberg group, being the simplest non-commutative Lie group, appears prominently in various applications of mathematics.
The goal of this book is to present basic geometric and algebraic properties of the Heisenberg group and its relation to other important mathematical structures (the skew field of quaternions, symplectic structures, and representations) and to describe some of its applications.
In particular, the authors address such subjects as well as signal analysis and processing, geometric optics, and quantization.
In each case, the authors present necessary details of the applied topic being considered.
With no prerequisites beyond the standard mathematical curriculum, this book manages to encompass a large variety of topics being easily accessible in its fundamentals.
It can be useful to students and researchers working in mathematics and in applied mathematics.
