Harmonic Analysis on Finite Groups: Representation Theory, Gelfand Pairs and Markov Chains (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics) Book

Line up a deck of 52 cards on a table. How many switches are needed in order to mix up the deck? This graduate-level book develops the mathematical tools to answer such questions, including the representation theory of finite groups, Markov chains, and the noncommutative version of the classical Fourier analysis.Read More

  • Product Description

    Starting from a few concrete problems such as random walks on the discrete circle and the finite ultrametric space, this book develops the necessary tools for the asymptotic analysis of these processes. Its topics range from the basic theory needed for students new to this area, to advanced topics such as the theory of Green's algebras, the complete analysis of the random matchings, and a presentation of the presentation theory of the symmetric group. This self-contained, detailed study culminates with case-by-case analyses of the cut-off phenomenon discovered by Persi Diaconis.
