This is a book about representing symmetry in quantum mechanics. The book is on a graduate and/or researcher level and it is written with an attempt to be concise, to respect conceptual clarity and mathematical rigor. The basic structures of quantum mechanics are used to identify the automorphism group of quantum mechanics. The main concept of a symmetry action is defined as a group homomorphism from a given group, the group of symmetries, to the automorphism group of quantum mechanics. The structure of symmetry actions is determined under the assumption that the symmetry group is a Lie group. The Galilei ... Read more

Reviews for The Theory of Symmetry Actions in Quantum Mechanics. With an Application to the Galilei Group.
From the reviews: "This slim and carefully written book is devoted to projective representations of continuous groups targeted to the fundamental symmetry group of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics – the Galilei group. … The presentation is self-contained and is supplied with necessary background material … and the list of relevant references." (Alexandr S. Holevo, Zentralblatt MATH, ... Read more
