Pontryagin Topological Groups Pdf Download

• A carefully-written introduction to topological groups

• Treats the structure theory of locally compact abelian groups

• Puts an emphasis on Pontryagin-van Kampen duality

"[...] All 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." 350c69d7ab
