Is there an obvious link between Analysis and Group theory?

235 Views Asked by At

For instance, Number theory can be seen as a subfield of Analysis, and Linear algebra is indeed definitely a subfield of Group theory - and both might in fact be generalised under some area of studies between Set theory and Group theory that I have not come across yet.

The question is, is there such a field that contains Analysis and Group theory as subfields? Or in other words, is there an obvious link between Analysis and Group theory?

Aside from the fact that "analysis" and "group theory" are different classification levels (like "plants" and "vertebrates" in biology), all things related to Lie Groups form a significant mix of analysis and group theory.

There is something called Topological Groups which can carry (the locally compact ones) a Haar measure, comparable to Riemann or Lebesgue. You can “do analysis” with these kinds of groups.
