李群与李代数II

《国外数学名著系列(续1)(影印版)62:李群与李代数2(李群的离散子群,李群与李代数的上同调)》can be useful as a reference and research guide to graduate students and researchers in different areas of mathematics and theoretical physics.The first part of this book on Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups is written by E.B. Vinberg, V.V. Gorbatsevich, and O.V. Shvartsman. Various types of discrete subgroups of Lie groups arise in the theory of functions of complex variables, arithmetic, geometry, and crystallography. Since the foundation of their general theory in the 50-60s of this century, considerable and in many respects exhaustive results were obtained. This development is reflected in this survey. Both semisimple and general Lie groups are considered. Part II on Cohomologies of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras is written by B.L. Feigin and D.B. Fuchs. It contains different definitions ofcohomologies of Lie groups and (both finite-dimensional and some infinite-dimensional)Lie algebras, the main methods of their calculation, and the results of these calculations.
