LIE GROUPS AND LIE ALGEBRAS FOR PHYSICISTS

by Ashok Das, Susumu Okubo

Overview

The book is intended for graduate students of theoretical physics (with a background in quantum mechanics) as well as researchers interested in applications of Lie group theory and Lie algebras in physics. The emphasis is on the inter-relations of representation theories of Lie groups and the corresponding Lie algebras.
