Description:

Sets out a series of problems to demonstrate to newcomers to Lie theory how notions of positivity in it occur in quite diverse settings, vary widely both in nature and application, and are approached from quite divergent mathematical viewpoints. Each of the 15 chapters (one in French) addresses a specific problem or a circle of problems at a level apprehendable by a graduate student with a sound knowledge of basic Lie theory. The emphasis is on smaller problems that might serve as guidelines to the main problems. Among the topics are exponential functions, invariant cones in real representations, total positivity, discrete series and analyticity, harmonic analysis on causal symmetric…
