This course-based primer provides an introduction to Lie algebras and some of their applications to the spectroscopy of molecules, atoms, nuclei and hadrons. In the first part, it concisely presents the basic concepts of Lie algebras, their representations and their invariants. The second part includes a description of how Lie algebras are used in practice in the treatment of bosonic and fermionic systems. Physical applications considered include rotations and vibrations of molecules (vibron model), collective modes in nuclei (interacting boson model), the atomic shell model, the nuclear shell model, and the quark model of hadrons. One of the key concepts ... Read more

Reviews for Lie Algebras and Applications
Its intention is to provide an introduction to Lie algebras at the level of a one-semester course in physics. ... these lecture notes are of high interest for physicists. But a mathematician will also find it interesting to see Lie algebras `in action' in physics. There are a lot of detailed examples available in the book. (Martin Schlichenmaier, Mathematical ...
