{"product_id":"9781107721241","title":"Representation Theory and Harmonic Analysis of Wreath Products of Finite Groups","description":"This book presents an introduction to the representation theory of wreath products of finite groups and harmonic analysis on the corresponding homogeneous spaces. The reader will find a detailed description of the theory of induced representations and Clifford theory, focusing on a general formulation of the little group method. This provides essential tools for the determination of all irreducible representations of wreath products of finite groups. The exposition also includes a detailed harmonic analysis of the finite lamplighter groups, the hyperoctahedral groups, and the wreath product of two symmetric groups. This relies on the generalised Johnson scheme, a new construction of finite Gelfand pairs. The exposition is completely self-contained and accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of representation theory. Plenty of worked examples and several exercises are provided, making this volume an ideal textbook for graduate students. It also represents a useful reference for more experienced researchers.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128343380208,"sku":"9781107721241","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781107721241_p0.jpg?v=1763691022","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781107721241","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
