Description for The Classical Groups: Their Invariants and Representations (PMS-1)
Paperback. Discusses the symmetric, linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their invariants and representations. This book covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which help in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics. Series: Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics & Physics. Num Pages: 336 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 159 x 21. Weight in Grams: 490.
In this renowned volume, Hermann Weyl discusses the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Using basic concepts from algebra, he examines the various properties of the groups. Analysis and topology are used wherever appropriate. The book also covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which are of great importance in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics. Hermann Weyl was among the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century. He made fundamental contributions to most branches of mathematics, but he is best remembered as one of the major developers of ... Read more
