This text is for a beginning graduate course in real variables and functional analysis. It assumes that the student has seen the basics of real variable theory and point set topology. Contents: 1) The topology of metric spaces. 2) Hilbert Spaces and Compact operators. 3) The Fourier Transform. 4) Measure theory. 5) The Lebesgue integral. 6) The Daniell integral. 7) Wiener measure, Brownian motion and white noise. 8) Haar measure. 9) Banach algebras and the spectral theorem. 10) The spectral theorem. 11) Stone's theorem. 12) More about the spectral theorem. 13) Scattering theory.

Multiplicity diagrams can be viewed as schemes for describing the phenomenon of 'symmetry breaking' in quantum physics. The authors take a novel approach, using the techniques of symplectic geometry, to the subject of multiplicity diagrams associated with the classical groups U(n), O(n), etc.

Topics include Fourier transform, spectral theorem for bounded self-joint operators, unbounded operators and semigroups, Weyl's theorem, Rayleigh-Ritz method, one dimensional quantum mechanics, Ruelle's theorem, scattering theory, Huyghens principle, more. 2018 edition.

This book discusses the equivariant cohomology theory of differentiable manifolds. Although this subject has gained great popularity since the early 1980's, it has not before been the subject of a monograph. It covers almost all important aspects of the subject The authors are key authorities in this field.
