Locally Mixed Symmetric Spaces

More about the book

Locally mixed symmetric spaces serve as a central theme, connecting algebraic surfaces, Weyl's dimension formula, and maximal orders in central simple algebras. The book emphasizes geometric concepts and relationships, guiding readers from fundamental principles to advanced topics at the intersection of differential and algebraic geometry, algebra, and topology. It aims to provide a coherent understanding, referred to as the "roter Faden," making complex ideas accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise.
