Among Riemannian manifolds, symmetric spaces (in the sense of Cartan) provide an abundant supply of elegant examples, the structures of which are enhanced by the rich theory of semisimple Lie groups. On these spaces, global analysis, particularly integration theory and partial differential operators, arises in a natural way by the requirement of geometric invariance. In Euclidean space these two subjects are related by the Fourier transform. The Peter-Weyl...
