Overview

This is an all-encompassing and exhaustive exposition of the theory of infinite-dimensional Unitary Representations of Locally Compact Groups and its generalization to representations of Banach algebras.

Presentation Style

The presentation is detailed, accessible, and self-contained (except for some elementary knowledge in algebra, topology, and abstract measure theory).

Advanced Topics

In the later chapters the reader is brought to the frontiers of present-day knowledge in the area of Mackey normal subgroup analysis and its generalization to the context of Banach *-Algebraic Bundles.
