Download or read book D-Modules, Perverse Sheaves, and Representation Theory written by Kiyoshi Takeuchi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D-modules continues to be an active area of stimulating research in such mathematical areas as algebraic, analysis, differential equations, and representation theory. Key to D-modules, Perverse Sheaves, and Representation Theory is the authors' essential algebraic-analytic approach to the theory, which connects D-modules to representation theory and other areas of mathematics. To further aid the reader, and to make the work as self-contained as possible, appendices are provided as background for the theory of derived categories and algebraic varieties. The book is intended to serve graduate students in a classroom setting and as self-study for researchers in algebraic geometry, representation theory.
