This book is an expanded version of the Hermann Weyl Lectures given at the Institute for Advanced Study in January 1986. It outlines some of what is now known about irreducible unitary representations
This book offers a systematic treatment - the first in book form - of the development and use of cohomological induction to construct unitary representations. George Mackey introduced induction in 195
Explores the geometry of the local Langlands conjecture. The conjecture predicts a parameterization of the irreducible representations of a reductive algebraic group over a local field on terms of the
