Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 304 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHP; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 237 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 468.
Symmetries, coupled with the mathematical concept of group theory, are an essential conceptual backbone in the formulation of quantum field theories capable of describing the world of elementary particles. This primer is an introduction to and survey of the underlying concepts and structures needed in order to understand and handle these powerful tools. Specifically, in Part I of the book the symmetries and related group theoretical structures of the Minkowskian space-time manifold are analyzed, while Part II examines the internal symmetries and their related unitary groups, where the interactions between fundamental particles are encoded as we know them ...

Reviews for Symmetries and Group Theory in Particle Physics: An Introduction to Space-Time and Internal Symmetries
From the reviews: The aim of this textbook is to introduce students to group-theoretical aspects in particle physics. To achieve this, the authors first give a brief introduction to the structure of Lie groups and algebras. ... The main text is supplemented by a few indices with technical details on group theory, as well as a ... Read more
