Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the non-specialist. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Each volume undergoes peer review using a double-blind reviewing process \u003c\/p\u003e This book provides an introduction to topological groups and the structure theory of locally compact abelian groups, with a special emphasis on Pontryagin-van Kampen duality, including a completely self-contained elementary proof of the duality theorem. Further related topics and applications are treated in separate chapters and in the appendix. \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLydia Außenhofer\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e University of Passau, Germany\u003cstrong\u003e; Dikran Dikranjan\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAnna Giordano Bruno\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Udine, Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"[...]\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAll in all, this book achieves two main goals, it can be used as a complete introduction to the theory of topological groups, but it also provides the more advanced reader with the powerful techniques developed around the duality theory of locally compact abelian groups and its many applications. Thus, this work is a worthy successor of the celebrated monograph written by Dikranjan, Prodanov, and Stoyanov and therefore highly recommended to all people interested in the study of topological groups.\u003c\/em\u003e\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProf. Salvador Hernández-Muñoz, Universitat Jaume I, Spain, February 2022 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46378948100175,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":5600.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9783110653496","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
