Representation theory and complex analysis: Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Venice, Italy, June 10-17, 2004

Six leading experts lecture on a wide spectrum of recent results on the subject of the title, providing both a solid reference and deep insights on currentresearch activity. Michael Cowling presents a survey of various interactions between representation theory and harmonic analysis on semisimple groups and symmetric spaces. Alain Valette recalls the concept of amenability and shows how it is used in the proof of rigidity results for lattices of semisimple Lie groups. Edward Frenkel describes the geometric Langlands correspondence for complex algebraic curves, concentrating on the ramified case where a finite number of regular singular points is allowed. Masaki Kashiwara studies the relationship between the representation theory of real semisimple Lie groups and the geometry of the flag manifolds associated with the corresponding complex algebraic groups.
