Harish-Chandra¿s general Plancherel inversion theorem admits a much shorter presentation for spherical functions. Previous expositions have dealt with a general, wide class of Lie groups. This has made access to the subject difficult for outsiders, who may wish to connect some aspects with several if not all other parts of mathematics. In this book, the essential features of Harish-Chandra theory are exhibited on SLn(R), but hundreds of pages of background are replaced by short direct verifications. The material is accessible to graduate students with no background in Lie groups and representation theory.Jorgenson, Jay is the author of 'Spherical Inversion on Sln(R)' with ISBN 9780387951157 and ISBN 0387951156.
