In the second part of the 20th century, algebraic methods have emerged as a powerful tool to study theories of physical phenomena, especially those of quantal systems. The framework of Lie algebras, initially introduced by - phus Lie in the last part of the 19th century, has been considerably expanded to include graded Lie algebras, in?nite-dimensional Lie algebras, and other algebraic constructions. Algebras that were originally introduced to describe certainpropertiesofaphysicalsystem,inparticularbehaviorunderrotations and translations, have now taken center stage in the construction of physical theories. This book contains a set of notes from lectures given at Yale Univ- sity and other universities ... Read more

Reviews for Lie Algebras and Applications
From the reviews: "Iachello has written a pedagogical and straightforward presentation of Lie algebras and some applications to bosonic systems encountered in molecular, atomic, nuclear and particle physics. … The book should be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics, although mathematicians and chemists should find it useful as well. It is a ... Read more
