Abstract harmonic analysis. Structure and analysis for compact groups

Edwin Hewitt, Kenneth A. Ross3540583181, 9783540583189

This book is a continuation of vol. I (Grundlehren vol. 115, also available in softcover), and contains a detailed treatment of some important parts of harmonic analysis on compact and locally compact abelian groups. From the reviews: “This work aims at giving a monographic presentation of abstract harmonic analysis, far more complete and comprehensive than any book already existing on the subject…in connection with every problem treated the book offers a many-sided outlook and leads up to most modern developments. Carefull attention is also given to the history of the subject, and there is an extensive bibliography…the reviewer believes that for many years to come this will remain the classical presentation of abstract harmonic analysis.” Publicationes Mathematicae
