Summary

We start by describing the fundamental theory of representation theory of a semisimple Lie group. This is followed by a classification of almost all irreducible tempered representations of a connected, semisimple, linear Lie group. We apply this classification to describe the structure of the reduced group C*-algebras of such groups.
