What do the classification of algebraic surfaces, Weyl's dimension
formula and maximal orders in central simple algebras have in
common? All are related to a type of manifold called locally mixed
symmetric spaces in this book. The presentation emphasizes
geometric concepts and relations and gives each reader the "roter
Faden", starting from the basics and proceeding towards quite
advanced topics which lie at the intersection of differential and
algebraic geometry, algebra and topology. Avoiding technicalities
and assuming only a working knowledge of real Lie groups, the text
provides a wealth of examples of symmetric spaces. The last two
chapters deal with one particular case (Kuga fiber spaces) and a
generalization (elliptic surfaces), both of which require some
knowledge of algebraic geometry. Of interest to topologists,
differential or algebraic geometers working in areas related to
arithmetic groups, the book also offers an introduction to the
ideas for non-experts.
