Noncompact symmetric and locally symmetric spaces naturally appear
in many mathematical theories, including analysis (representation
theory, nonabelian harmonic analysis), number theory (automorphic
forms), algebraic geometry (modulae) and algebraic topology
(cohomology of discrete groups). In most applications, it is
necessary to form an appropriate compactification of the space. The
literature dealing with such compactifications is vast. The main
purpose of this book is to introduce uniform constructions of most
of the known compactifications with emphasis on their geometric and
topological structures. The book is divided into three parts. Part
I studies compactifications of Riemannian symmetric spaces and
their arithmetic quotients. Part II is a study of compact smooth
manifolds. Part III studies the compactification of locally
symmetric spaces. Familiarity with the theory of semisimple Lie
groups is assumed, as is familiarity with algebraic groups defined
over the rational numbers in later parts of the book, although most
of the pertinent material is recalled as presented. and research
mathematicians interested in the applications of Lie theory and
representation theory to diverse fields of mathematics.
