Spectral theory of invariant operators, sharp inequalities, and representation theory. (English). In: Slovák, Jan (ed.): Proceedings of the 16th Winter School "Geometry and Physics". Circolo Matematico di Palermo, Palermo, 1997. pp. [29]-54

Summary:
The paper represents the lectures given by the author at the 16th Winter School on Geometry and Physics, Srni, Czech Republic, January 13-20, 1996. He develops in an elegant manner the theory of conformal covariants and the theory of functional determinant which is canonically associated to an elliptic operator on a compact pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The presentation is excellently realized with a lot of details, examples and open problems.
