Résumé
Line up a deck of 52 cards on a table. How many switches are needed in order to mix up the deck? This graduate-level book develops the mathematical tools to answer such questions, including the representation theory of finite groups, Markov chains, and the noncommutative version of the classical Fourier analysis.

Harmonic Analysis on Finite Groups by Tullio Ceccherini-Silberstein
Line up a deck of 52 cards on a table. Randomly choose two cards and switch them. How many switches are needed in order to mix up the deck? Starting from a few concrete problems such as random walks on the discrete circle and the finite ultrametric space this book develops the necessary tools for the asymptotic analysis of these processes. This detailed study culminates with the case-by-case analysis of the cut-off phenomenon discovered by Persi Diaconis. This self-contained text is ideal for graduate students and researchers working in the areas of representation theory, group theory, harmonic analysis and Markov chains. Its topics range from the basic theory needed for students new to this area, to advanced topics such as the theory of Green's algebras, the complete analysis of the random matchings, and the representation theory of the symmetric group.

'There are not many books that can be used both as an elementary textbook and a research monograph with the same ease and success. This one … is a rare example. … No prerequisites on probability theory and Markov chains are required; everything is explained in detail. From a researcher's point of view, the introduction and detailed study of Gelfand pairs in the context of finite groups is very valuable. … The book can be warmly recommended for anyone interested in the subject and/or looking for interesting applications of representation theory.'
