Representation Theory and C*-algebras is devoted to the representation theory of solvable Lie groups and the associated non-commutative harmonic analysis including the study of C*-algebras. It contains full proofs of long-standing problems in the theory, including several polynomial conjectures and primitive zero ideals descriptions. It provides an in-depth study of their structural properties, the classification of unitary representations using the orbit method, and the underlying algebraic and analytic frameworks.

The book is most suitable for doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers specializing in Lie theory, noncommutative geometry, functional analysis, operator algebras, and theoretical physics.
