Includes bibliographical references (p. 327-333) and index
The basic framework -- The structure of groups -- Lie groups -- Representations of groups : principal ideas -- Representations of groups : developments -- Group theory in quantum mechanical calculations -- Crystallographic space groups -- The role of Lie algebras -- The relationships between Lie groups and Lie algebras explored -- The three-dimensional rotation groups -- The structure of semi-simple Lie algebras -- Representations of semi-simple Lie algebras -- Symmetry schemes for the elementary particles
This book, an abridgment of Volumes I and II of the highly respected Group Theory in Physics , presents a carefully constructed introduction to group theory and its applications in physics. The book provides anintroduction to and description of the most important basic ideas and the role that they play in physical problems. The clearly written text contains many pertinent examples that illustrate the topics, even for those with no background in group theory. This work presents important mathematical developments to theoretical physicists in a form that is easy to comprehend and appreciate. Fin
