Symmetry in Geometry and Analysis is a Festschrift honoring Toshiyuki Kobayashi. The three volumes feature 35 selected contributions from invited speakers of twin conferences held in June 2022 in Reims, France, and in September 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. These contributions highlight the profound impact of Prof. Kobayashi’s pioneering ideas, groundbreaking discoveries, and significant achievements in the development of analytic representation theory, noncommutative harmonic analysis, and the geometry of discontinuous groups beyond the Riemannian context, among other areas, over the past four decades.
The first volume of the Festschrift includes a survey article on Kobayashi’s innovative contributions to Mathematics, emphasizing their influence and introducing new perspectives across various fields. Original articles contained in Volume 1 focus on differential geometry with symmetries as well as algebraic and geometric aspects of representation theory of reductive Lie groups and related topics.
