β¦ Synopsis
This volume is intended as an introduction to group-theoretic methods in analysis on spaces that possess certain amounts of mobility and symmetry. The focus is on the three topics in the subtitle. The introductory chapter deals with the three two-dimensional cases of constant curvature requiring only elementary methods and no Lie theory. Chapter I deals with modern integral geometry and Radon transforms. The second chapter deals with the interconnection between Lie groups and differential operators whereas Chapter V develops the theory of spherical functions on semisimple Lie groups with a certain degree of completeness. Each chapter concludes with "Exercises and Further Results" and solutions/references are provided at the end of the book.

This volume, the second of Helgason's impressive three books on Lie groups and the geometry and analysis of symmetric spaces, is an introduction to group-theoretic methods in analysis on spaces with a group action. The first chapter deals with the three two-dimensional spaces of constant curvature,
Integral geometry originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments, however, have proved to be useful in several fields ranging from pure mathematics (measure theory, continuous groups) to technical and applied disciplines (pattern recognition, stereology
