TY - BOOK AU - Zhong-Qi, Ma TI - Group Theory for Physicists SN - 9780000988720 U1 - 530.1522 PY - 2019/// CY - New Jersey PB - World Scientific, KW - Mathematical physics KW - Group theory N1 - Review on linear algebras ; Group and its subsets ; Theory of representations ; Permutation groups ; Three-dimensional rotation group ; Symmetry of crystals ; Lie groups and Lie algebras ; Gel'fand's method and its generalization ; Unitary groups ; Real orthogonal groups ; Lorentz groups ; Symplectic groups N2 - This textbook explains the fundamental concepts and techniques of group theory by making use of language familiar to physicists. Calculation methods in the context of physics are emphasized. New materials drawn from the teaching and research experience of the author are included. The generalized Gel'fand's method is presented to calculate the matrices of irreducible representations of the simple Lie algebra and its Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. This book is for graduate students and young researchers in physics, especially theoretical physics. It is also for graduate students in theoretical chemistry ER -
