Probability on Algebraic Structures

Know about the book -

Probability on Algebraic Structures is written by Gregory Budzban and published by American Mathematical Soc.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0821820273 (ISBN 10) and 9780821820278 (ISBN 13).

This volume presents results from an AMS Special Session held on the topic in Gainesville (FL). Papers included are written by an international group of well-known specialists who offer an important cross-section of current work in the field. In addition there are two expository papers that provide an avenue for non-specialists to comprehend problems in this area. The breadth of research in this area is evident by the variety of articles presented in the volume. Results concern probability on Lie groups and general locally compact groups. Generalizations of groups appear as hypergroups, abstract semigroups, and semigroups of matrices. Work on symmetric cones is included. Lastly, there are a number of articles on the current progress in constructing stochastic processes on quantum groups.
