MONOGRAPHS AND RESEARCH NOTES IN MATHEMATICS
Structured as a dialogue between a mathematician and a physicist,
Symmetry and Quantum Mechanics unites the mathematical topics
of this field into a compelling and physically-motivated narrative that
focuses on the central role of symmetry.
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students
in mathematics with only a minimal background in physics, this title
is also useful to physicists seeking a mathematical introduction to the
subject. Part I focuses on spin, and covers such topics as Lie groups
and algebras, while part II offers an account of position and momentum
in the context of the representation theory of the Heisenberg group,
along the way providing an informal discussion of fundamental con-
cepts from analysis such as self-adjoint operators oh Hilbert space and
the Stone-von Neumann Theorem. Mathematical theory is applied to
physical examples such as spin-precession in a magnetic field, the har-
monic oscillator, the infinite spherical well, and the hydrogen atom.
Key Features
• Provides an appreciation of quantum mechanics and its many
connections to the field of pure mathematics
• Emphasizes the underlying mathematical structure of the physical
theory
• Offers a motivating introduction to Lie groups and their represen-
tations with a focus on the quantum mechanically relevant Heisen-
berg group H3 and special unitary group SU(2)
• Contains exercises interspersed in each chapter to provide addi-
tional understanding and practice for the reader
Scott Corry is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Lawrence
University in Appleton, Wisconsin. His research interests include Galois
theory, algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and mathematical physics.
