Based on lectures given at an instructional course, this volume enables readers with a basic knowledge of functional analysis to access key research in the field. The authors survey several areas of current interest, making this volume ideal preparatory reading for students embarking on graduate work as well as for mathematicians working in related areas.
- Chapters written be leading researchers on current topics
- Ideal for graduate students starting research
- Carefully edited to form a coherent introduction to research
Reviews & endorsements
'In view of the book's genesis, it is clear that it is quite heterogeneous … This heterogeneity, however, turns out to be one of the volume's strengths: it presents five concise introductions to important parts of functional analysis, each of which conveys its author's outlook on the field … It will certainly be quite useful for new graduate students as well as for non-specialists in the areas covered who want to get a quick overview before delving into dautingly thick treatises as the one by [H. G. Dales ['Banach algebras and automatic continuity', Lond. Math. Soc. Monographs. New Series 24 (2000; Zbl 981.46043)] (on Banach algebras) or K. B. Laursen and M. M. Neumann …'. Zentralblatt MATH
