Compactifications of Symmetric and Locally Symmetric Spaces

More about the book

Focusing on the compactification of noncompact symmetric and locally symmetric spaces, this book explores their significance across various mathematical fields such as analysis, number theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. It provides uniform constructions of known compactifications, emphasizing their geometric and topological structures. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding these complex spaces and their applications, addressing the extensive literature on compactifications in a clear and structured manner.
