This book is designed both as a textbook for high-level graduate courses and as a reference for researchers who need to apply the structure and representation theory of compact groups. A gentle introduction to compact groups and their representation theory is followed by self-contained courses on linear and compact Lie groups, and on locally compact abelian groups.

This fourth edition was updated with the latest developments in the field.

• Thorough introduction to compact groups, which have applications in algebra, topology, functional analysis, and theoretical physics.
• Thrust of the book points to structure theory of infinite dimensional, not necessarily commutative compact groups.
